and this goes like this



this is where crazy glue comes in handy. take small amount of glue and put on edge of nut. thread bolt through hole, thread nut on bolt pull through. This prevents nut from flopping around when attempting to locate bracket. Once super glue is done its magic, carefully unthread bolt........

place on fork (note bolt is in backwards it was better for pic



another shot



Place faring back on bike locate bolt holes and turn signal brackets. Line up position of fairing and drill some holes a little larger than your bolts. grab a washer lager than hole, thread bolt through place a length of appropriately sized black tranny hose to act as a spacer. thread bolt into the bracket, snug down. both sides


ride away all cool like.

Very smart! It looks a lot cleaner now. What did you use the Krazy Glue for?

I used the crazy glue to hold the nuts in place inside the turn signal mounts. They wont spin as they are large enough however they will slide all over the place and make you threaten horrible things to your sweet pride an joy.

This is the first bike I have had with a "fairing", really makes a differance. Previous was evo with 12/14/16 apes attack bars (10 inch) Shovel with z bars (12) t bars, "window bars" (10 inch), and I felt like a parachute on most of them with the exception of the z bars on the shovel. I think it keeps a fair amount off me.

hope that helps.
