if I get the clearance at the front wheel then I do not get the clearance at the bars and i will have to cut a hole in the belly for the exhaust [full hindle] just very fustrating.

I would suggest that the front bottom of the belly pan needs lowering slightly to increase the clearence. I would also say that the clearence isn't great between the kit and the wheel. and as for the exhaust The one i fitted ages ago was pretty much on the belly pan

have you got any pics mate,

Are you making your own brackets for it? As it won't fit onto the standard SV fairing bolts.

OR have you bought the BB Plastics brackets?

Hi

Any lessons that you learnt would be much appreciated.... I have a BB Plastics fairing that is part fitted to a curvy but other distractions (small child) have been impeding progress...

I've got the fairing fitted at the front using a subframe I got via E-Bay. Haven't got as far as securing the lower part of the fairing to anything. Also, if you've used the standard SV shaped seat unit, how the hell do you get it to fit? It seems to foul just about everything on the rear sub-frame.

I have taken some photos tonight i will try to upload them but i am a technophobe i cannot even PM people reliably so bear with me:confused:.
Any help I can give I will in the spirit of this forum.
The seat unit I run is the BB plastics Blade style with one of their subframes although i have two [Subframes] and they are both different!:confused:! I also run R&G crash bungs which do affect/alter how you mount the fairing do you have crash protection:safe: fitted?

Hi

Thanks for reply!

Photos - if it's easier PM me and I'll PM back my e-mail address. I don't have a clue how to get photos to work on this site either....

Seat unit - ok, will carry on with current plan for that...

Main fairing - crash bungs, yes have a set of R&G bungs.

Regards

Ian
