Unhappy Need Help installing Memphis Gauntlet Fairing on my iron 883

I cant find instructions on installing this fairing. I just laid it over the bike to see how it lays but i notice my turn signals diapered and im not sure if i will get cable interference with the fairing.

I contacted Memphis but they are closed already will try again tomorrow as their site does not have install instructions for this model of fairing.

If anyone here has it or knows how the install works with pictures please help me out. I have the mounting kit as well that was the easy part. I really want this on the bike ASAP.

Thanks already been there and saw that but I want to see install instructions. Ill be relocating the turn lights anyway but I want to see how the fairing is installed. visual and info helps more than just seeing it already on the bike.

thanks for the effort do.

Did you get the fairing and mounting hardware? if so, the hardware shows you how to install it

Mine has been great so far

Did you have to move any of the cables? I see you dont have front turn signals on yours at lest from the image.

The mounting hardware came with instructions but thing for the actual fairing. I guess I can just try and mount the sucker fully and see if cables (clutch, throttle cables i should say) are in the way or not.

I'll take a pic when I get home for you. Basically you just tuck the wires inside the fairing. Be careful with the throttle cable, you cant bed that or it will stick

Will do always looking for others to ride with especially with the same bike. Would love to see like 10 strong 883's rolling on the road for a ride day.
