Hello all,
As the final stage of my crash repairs, the Powerbronze fairing lowers arrived yesterday.
Now trying to fit them (this is a curvy)!
The panels seem ok (if not quite the same shape as the old ones) but the fitting kit is pants. Crude pieces of stamped and pressed steel which no matter how much you jiggle them around don't get the holes in the right places - we are talking about them being out by inches, not millimetres.
Also the left hand bracket seems to require you to leave an engine bolt partly undone - can't be good. This is such a contrast to the mounting kit for the old lowers, which looked like a really nicely made piece of kit.
Does anyone have any advice for:
(a) how to get the damn things on, or
(b) who else makes/sells lowers for the curvy, so I can work out where the old ones came from (it obviously wasn't Powerbronze).
Cheers,
G
