Is it that noticeable? Ive dropped the bars as much as I can without loosing the fairings, about 1 1/2 inches, so the only other option was to raise the rear an inch or so to allow me to sit in the bike instead of on it, gives it a proper "sportsbike" riding position! Plus it makes my numberplate easier to read! lol

Cheers, I was unsure of how they would look once on, but they look like theyve grew there!
Right then, in the picture below, the red circle is where I had to cut away a piece, its the bottom lip that would go under the frame, I just cut it in line with the rest of the cover so that from the shock end to the front wheel end is one straight line now!
The edge of the "Y" piece, the blue circle on mine was all wonky, I simply used some masking tape to get me a straight line and cut it so its now perfectly straight and would pretty much meet up with the upper piece!
I then had to cut a notch out on the underside where the green circle is to clear the frame welds, or else it was pressing the cover out!
I wouldnt bother with silicone neither, I tried it at first but its just not strong enough, on mine where the blue circle is, I had to use a G clamp to hold it against the frame whilst the adhesive set or it was sitting proud about 5-6mm! lol
Once the bottom piece was on and set I then stuck on the top halfs aligning them but up to the bottom piece and at the same level away from the frame!
And, er, bob your uncle! lol
Oh incase your wondering i used some windscreen bond to stick em to the frame, didnt want to use anything this strong, but in the end I had to, there aint no way theyd be coming off in one piece! lol
Hope this helps!
crap
, how it got here undamaged is beyond me. they look ok, but against my originals, you can tell the quality's no as good. still worth the money imho.
