RE: Fairing Mirrors Removal
Hey Mike (Wally)....
If you decide to have the fairing mirrors removed, the best way to fill the holes is to start from behind the inner fairing. Either epoxy something to cover the holes or use fiberglass mat and resin. You want to have the holes covered first. From the front you will have the holes but they won't be trough-holes. Then you would use a standard body filler to actually fill in the holes. Make sure to feather edge the filler out past the circumference of the holes otherwise you could end up with the filler popping out. I've never seen a stock inner fairing but for some reason I thought they were textured. If so, the texture can be replicated using a number of different methods depending on the texture pattern. You would want to texture the body filler as it's drying.
