Default Fairing Mirror Location
Replacing an inner fairing for a friend and of course the new one is not drilled for the SG Fairing Mirrors. Question, I believe I have read posts where others had to also drill holes for the mirrors and elevated the hole 1" for better rearward visibility.

I'm I right in what I thought I read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also assume there are no templates available and I will just have to "eye ball" the locations.

Get the windshield mounted mirrors. Then no holes.
