Default Krator fairing headlight gap

I installed a krator fairing with a Memphis shades headlight block but still have a gap can’t figure out how to eliminate the gap despite trying various installation methods with the headlight and headlight block.

also what is the bolt thread pitch and length I need to attach my light bar to the headlight block ?

Adjust the Fairing Forward or the Headlight back. If the Headlight is even with the Fairing you won't notice the Gap so much. No idea why they make that opening so large.

I assume you can't lower the fairing, but, can't you just use a taller headlight block, or am I missing something....

I’ve seen on YouTube people seem to adjust the fairing up or down I can’t seem to be able to I had it loose upon installation and tried to no avail.

I’m gonna try a a different headlight extension specifically made for this fairing on order from Amazon.


It’s weird cause the Memphis shades one has 6 installation options and I’ve seen people make it work with the krator fairing but I think the Memphis shades headlight block I have is specifically made for the gauntlet fairing which I used to have but took off cause it broke.

The Memphis Shades one will not work properly. You need to order the headlight block that raises the headlight up like you stated.

Can you try a couple of washers to get it where you want it, then order one that fits?
