It doesn't go in at all it is hitting on the faceplate of the radio and won't go past it. I tried to get it to go thinking it was tight but it wouldn't go at all. Maybe have to call and see if they have a different one would that would fit.

I have that same head unit.
I find the cover can be wedged in to protect the headunit from rain or dust but not when the bike is running.

It pops right out if the bike is running and falls off.

Guess I'll have to figure something else out. Maybe it would take a call to Biketronics?

The BT dash kit sits further back and allow thier cover to be pushed into the fairing more for a better fit.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the cover you have and the one I have but I damn near need a crowbar to get mine off.
