The washer trick worked again. Same here, the offset fairing compared to the speedo nacelle drove me absolutely nuts. So when the techs told me that they didn't see the offset, I was like...GTFO my bike bro...I'll fix it.
Ive first tried two washers per bolt but it was obviously too much amazing how much a single washer shifts it.
My 2021 RGS fairing is crooked also. Bike has never been down. Several that I have seen new on the floor over the past few years have been the same way, fairing is crooked to the right side on X axis. Are you saying you use a washer placed under the large front bracket coming off the frame, right side bolt holes that holds the inner/outer fairing to adjust the fairing to the left on the X axis? The fairing not being square to the instrument nacell make me crazy also.
That's the one - big bracket to which inner fairing is attached with 4 bolts, I have 1 washer under each of two right side bolts. Also there's some "adjustment" you can do by loosening 2 bolts that hold that bracket to the frame - there's some wiggle room but it's a two man job - one wiggles and the other one observes and "seizes the moment"
In order to get to those 2 bolts you'd need to remove speedo/tach cluster and instruments housing cluster. Items 9, 11 and 12 in the diagram
