Most of us have trimmed the back of the fairing in a bigger curve, which makes it clear the tank at full lock. Tin snips or Dremel seem to be the tools of choice for trimming.

Use painters tape (blue) and lay it out showing the profile you want to avoid tank clearance issues. I would use a variable speed dremel with a fine grit large diameter sanding drum to shape the fairing.
