Fairing modification
instructions:
Install the right slider bolt without the slider. Engage only a few threads
and re-install the fairing to mark the inside of the fairing for the pilot
hole. We sometimes coat the head of the socket screw with a non permanent
marker or place some putty on the inside of the fairing so the the screw will
make a mark or an indentation. Once the center of the bolt location on
the fairing is determined, it is suggested that you drill a small pilot hole
to locate the engine mount. Once you have found the center, use a hole saw
and cut a hole approximately 50mm in diameter. Edges can then be filed larger
for perfect fit, or inaccuracies in drilling. We have found that placing masking
tape on the area helps protect from scratches, cracks, etc. and a dremel is
great for adjust the hole size.
Replace the fairing panels, install the
sliders in place and torque to manufacturer's specs.
Thank-you for purchasing Motovation
products. Please ride safe and always wear protective
clothing.
