Then im going to fill the tank with a gas can and see when the light turns off. Im probably going to test it this weekend.
I've tried this with my fi light and could never get it to work correctly. if you can mad props and please share what you did

the reason why I ask is because I can't get my **** to look nice tight and pretty.... so was hoping for some pointers or using x thing to make them tight etc etc etc

My sides look seamless and i got it to look like that by first putting the side fairings on and then installing the nose last. I mounted the nose loosely to the upper stay until i lined up the sides and mirror holes. After i had the sides and mirrors on I tightened the nose to the upper stay. I then hacked the air tubes down and taped up the opening that was left and threw them under the air duct covers. My tank isn't back so i don't know how the alignment for that part is but everything else looks pretty seamless. It took me a little time to get everything perfect (like an hour and a half) but it all looks pretty good. Just took a lot of minor adjustments and bending.

Well i have a few more pics. Unfortunately i can't ride my bike because of a busted water joint (HUGE wrench slipped out of my hand) so my bike wont hold antifreeze until i get another one. Hopefully ebay comes through or i have to wait for almost 2 onths because they are on backorder with honda. > Here are some pics of how it currently stands


Before the gas tank came back.


How it currently looks


I forgot to tell cbrfairings that i wanted a cbr f4 tail so i have those annoying holes for the grab bar. I'm just gonna grab some fiberglass resin and fill it and cover it with a decal so i don't have to worry about painting those squares.
