Default How Do I Put on My Tail Fairing Easily?

Sorry if I am posting in the in the wrong spot, but I need help. I took off my tail fairing on my 2001 CBR 600 F4I to do some work to it, and now I am having trouble putting it back on. I can only bend it so much and I am afraid to crack it. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. And tips or pictures or anything to help me at all. Thanks so much!

You have to bend it quite a bit to get it to fit.
If you pull the bottom appart around where the R/R is and just inch it down from one side to the other is the best way I have found to do it.
Just take it slow and go bit by bit and you will get it.

Thank you so much man it helped! I repainted it but I'm a little disappointed the color is not exact match but close enough for me!

Not my place to say but if you sanded down your air ducts and gloss blacked them to match your side fairings that would probably really make that pop if you still have the same paint job.

He said air duct covers. The matte grey plastic bits either side of the dashboard that cover the rubber tubes that lead from the front air intakes to your airbox.

These things

If you look at post #14 in the attached thread there is a before and after pic of what I mean.
