If you're not to competent in the mechanics department get a friend who can give you a hand.

LOVE the fairing
Did you cut and weld it in between a std firestorm one or was it made like that when you bought it?

The fairing was made like that from a company in germany called thurn motorsport.

Never had this sort of problem on the zxr and at tim...
