That might be why it is slightly too long.

According to HEL, the HBR7646 listed for my bike there comes in at around 18inches, which is even longer than the one I purchased, which would mean it being nearly 4 inches longer than the one I took off.
I initially thought that there could be a difference between the naked and faired, but I can't imagine it being 2 inches longer. Wheelbase for 2004, that I can find, is naked = 1440mm or 56.7in and faired = 1430mm or 56.3in. 10mm either way shouldn't make any real world difference tbh.
It's just annoying there isn't anywhere local that sells these lines so I can go and measure up properly.
