For those who want to see piccies of the "new" R&Gs for the curvy that do not require cutting the fairing - here you go......

I'm quite tall (6'3") but they just about fit without interfearing with my knees.
HOWEVER, I realised upon fitting that the bolt provided for the upper bracket attachment (not the main engine bolt) on the off-side was way too long for the hole left by the original bolt. I called R&G and they said they had a bad batch of bolts and that they would send a new one through to me asap. In the meantime, I've used the original bolt from the nearside (the 2 are of differing lengths, the nearside one being longer) which seems to work! Hope this is clear!
Anyway, before you start to install them, ensure that the shortest bolt is about 10cm in length. otherwise, you might get most of the way through and then not be able to complete the job!
