The panels I'm after come with some fittings. Which is wonderful. But I think the kit is incomplete. The photo below shows everything that comes with. Will I manage, or will I need more bits?

If these are lower fairings for a pointy then that looks just about right.
Extended frame bolts left and right... Check
lower mounts either side... Check
Rad Mount bolts... Check
Upper Fairing Mount bolts... check.
Outer fairing caps... Check.

Only things looking to be missing are the bolt for the 2nd cap
You're missing about 5 washers with collar for bolts to slip through and tighten against without crushing the fairing. Dont panic just yet though, check the fairings because if they've been fitted once its likley they're still in the holes.

Oh tell you what you will need if you havnt got it already... copper slip!
The fairings need to come off for just about everything you do, and those bolts love nothing more than the seize right up on you.

Excellent, thanks for this. As for the caps, can I replace these with some crash bungs?

Nice supersize pic! I've bought the 2 plastic fairing panels but have no fittings except some R&G Crash bungs(for non-fairing models like mine is currently), i work at an Engineering firm so i'm gonna fabby all my bits myself. I'm thinking it might be worth me knocking out a dozen or more of these and sell them to others, then they just need to source a few bolts.
I'm guessing your fairing has the 4-hole plate already fitted to the bottom of them(for joining the 2 halves) as its not in your pic.
