It didn't go together quite like I had hoped, but it's all together and sounds great. I would almost bet that the problem was me shoving too much gear under the fairing, making the inner and outer Fairing holes off by just enough to cause me issues. Either way, Biketronics stopped everything and got me going, and the Mmats sound amazing. At 25 volume, I have people coming out of their garage 100 yards away. Crystal clear and loud! Oh, and I made the dreaded mistake of using a T25 instead of a T27 on the bolts, so I may need some new bolts if I ever get the courage to take it apart again.

Good on you for having the perseverance to complete. I'm glad you like it. Like Juice said, you did it yourself. Lots of satisfaction in that.

Just a tidbit, you can buy new bolts and replace them 1 at a time. No need to remove the fairing to replace. Unless of course you become some of us and pull your fairing regularly. Mine should have a zipper.

Congrats on the self installation!
Glad it all worked out to how you wanted it.
Those MMats sound real good.
