Hey guys I'm getting ready to install my fairing kit and I needed some help with the rear fairing...it seems so hard to push it past the rear seat and I really do not wanna crack the rear fairing! Does anyone know any tricks or have any ideas to where I can get it on and not break it!!

 

I bought one of the kits off eb and have just started installing it on the bike. i couldnt find an easy way to get it past the rectifier on the subframe. You just need to gently pull it past a fin at a time. Also i've noticed the holes in the kit are just a little smaller than what you need so i've had to drill mine out to get the bolts to fit properly.

Slow and steady seems to be the only way to get these things to fit up.

 

I have taken mine off twice. I have noticed taking the rear seat off is the only way to do it and pushing it's bracket back down. I also found it easier to start by putting the right side on first and having it half way down the fins. Then just caress it on. You will probably have to play with it to get it on there, I know I had to. I hate taking it off and on b/c it is such a tight fit. Just be careful, the bottom of the tail where it meets the undertail area. I cracked mine on the left side mid way down. I think always the best advice is; look at everything when taking it off and on. If it is giving you a hard time look and see what it is hitting. Good Luck!!

 

I'm having a nightmare of a time with mine. Mainly the inner panels just don't fit quite right. Lots of time with a dremel and a whole load of patience

 

I could see you using a dremel to make the holes bigger or something like that. But if your using a dremel to cut it to get it to fit, then I would take a second look at it all as a whole. Last thing you want to do it chop it up, get it on, and then there are gaps every where.

 

Oh yeah the dremel is just for the holes

As for the panels its just a lot of pulling and stretching to line it up.

 

Well can't wait to see what both bikes look like... Post 'em up when you get 'em on!!

 

yeah i just looked at my siggy....still has my old blade on it.

 

Yeah I don't know what a "siggy" is.

 

sure you do.
