Default Well I screwed the pooch!
Dammit!
Installing Klock LED marker lights on my brothers bike.
I put the 2 front LED's in the valance...the thing directly at the bottom of the outter fairing.
Checked my hole location before I cut the hole in the valance.
Cut the holes.
Sent valance to be powdercoated black.
Got it back from powdercoater today.
Installed the LED's.
Went to bolt the valance to the frontend...I FREAKIN' MISSED!

My damn holes are off!
Lights are hitting the cowbells.
Won't bolt up.

Anyone have a valance they want to get rid of?

It's not the end of the world. We all have done bonehead stuff and move on. Don't sweat the small stuff.

If you are talking about the fairing skirt....I got you.

I bought a powdercoated one when I did my front end, so I have the stock one. PM me.
