I just received the Fairing Mounted Mirrors kit. Included in the kit is a plastic/vinyl template that is supposed to be used to locate the holes to be drilledin the inner fairing. The template is a little vague though, there are a couple of circles with a line through them, and then coming off of the circles are arrows.

My question is, do I drill in the center of the circle, or do I drill at the point of the arrow? Inquiring minds want to know... Thanks in advance.

I haven't seen those instructions, but I always hold the part to be mounted against the template to see where the actual mounting points are.Hope this helps you

 

Don't remeber the directions specifically from when I put mine on, howeverI do remeber that he template hangs on the fairing and then you drill in the circles.

 

We followed the template and they mirror are too low to be effective.

We would suggest that you mark the holes in the template then move then upward at least 1/2" - 3/4".

The blue plastic template has a hole that slips over a boss on the inner fairing. Position the template over the boss, and use an awl or scriber point to push through the centerline of each hole. Remove the template and drill a pilot hole with a 1/8" twist drill. Enlarge each hole to the size stated in the directions.

 

Do not use the circle on the template. Above them are two spots where the arrow point to, those are where the holes need to be drilled.

 

I agree fully with this comment, the template is about 1/2" too low. I'd go to the dealer and measure the Streetglides and adjust the locations.

 

Center of circle worked for me, installed mine about 1 hour ago, really like them....

 

Weended upusing them in conjunction with the "Stock" cop bike mirrors to protect our "quarters". We aimed the fairing mounted mirrorsso that they show us what is on each side and to the rear of the bike. Actually, work well.

I did the same and it made a big difference. especially on trips, riding two up with luggage.
