I just went and looked again. There are 4 visible holes on the bracket, uess the rest are under the foam seal.
Move the spacer on the back of the grill to the front of it. Every damn centimeter matters.

I did, but clearly not well enough. I ended up trimming it. Putting the Fairing back on is a pita. Both lower standoff bolts broke and the upper left bolt doesn't want to reach all the way through the support bracket.

Project over for a few days. When the standoff bolts broke, they broke off in the outer Fairing clips...on both sides. I emailed Biketronics for new bolts. On the plus side, it sounds awesome
