This arrived in the post today....
I opened the box and found.....
...so here we go...the instructions say that all I need are these...
This is what the original looked like...
First, remove the two cross-head and four allen screws - put them somewhere safe...
Next, simply pull out the rubber grommet/nut thingies - yeah right!
I found that it was actually easier to carefully draw them through the fairing by gently pulling the screen away from the fairing...carry on withdrawing the screen until your pride and joy looks something like this...
Now...carefully offer up the new screen to the top of the fairing and gently slot it into the correct position ensuring that the screw holes line up correctly...then insert the rubber grommet/nut thingies - they go in much easier...incidentally a top tip to help ease their insertion is to place them in a cup of warm water...like this...

Yes - it really does help. Top tip No.2 - ensure that the water isn't so hot that you scald your fingertips when trying to salvage the thingies from the cup!!
Anyway, with the screen in place and the rubber thingies firmly replaced, insert the six screws that you put in a safe place earlier, tighten...et voila!!!
Great!! This would have been easily completed within the bogey time of 25 mins if it wasn't for the fact that I had two shots at placing the screen BECAUSE I suddenly realised that there is a small strip of what looks like black window seal (the stuff with one sticky side what keeps the wind out!!) that cushions the screen from the inner part of the fairing - mine had got slightly moved/twisted/whatever...so I had to reposition it all...otherwise...piece of cake!!!
As an aside, I purchased this item from fleabay...and had to pay the postage on arrival as it had gone missing in transit
and it was sent recorded
. Anyway, contacted the seller and hey presto he credited me with the relevant amount - no quibbles - which I guess he'll reclaim from the post office...so BIG THUMBS UP to him!!
Hope this helps.
