I hear ya. We have separate dept from the machinists to metal fab. Most metal fab is punched and automated. All my work done by hand, tape measure,tri square, brake, and a shear. I made the notch with a cylindrical burr bit.

And I definitely appreciate it. I was moving my amp from my bag to the fairing to free up some bag space. Thought I was going have to go back to it since I don't have the resources to fab anything decent.

That looks good. I might move my amp up front like that.

Looks like you need a good 1/4- 3/8" to come down. Redrill a 17/64ths bit. Start with a 1/8" bit as a pilot then the 17/64ths.

Have you test fit the fairing? Hard to tell from pics but the corners on the amp may hit the inside. You may need to move it back,down or angle it downwards in the front. Clearance is pretty tight in there.

Yeah I was thinking about a 1/2". Also thought about just doing one on each side and letting it drop the amp at an angle to see how that works.

With the way it is now the fairing won't sit but Sly did a great job making them.
