Does anyone have a really small gap between the front wheel and bottom of the fairing.
Its so tight I'm gonna have to move the undertray back and shave some fairing off!!

No but if it's a pattern fibreglass fairing it's not a surprise.

yup last year i think myself, Ali and Paul payne had the same issue...under braking the front wheel would rub the catch tank..................
a little bit of modification is needed......with a lump hammer

paul payne had the same at castle last weekend
I have had to make up some brackets to move the fairing back on the rear mounts.
Odd really as it was designed around Kev (Senna3)'s bike and I don't think he has had a problem......

Yup, I had NO gap between the catch-tray and the wheel...to the extent that during the season I near-as-damn-it wore a whole right through it with my tyre! Just viewed it as extra breaking though! When I re-painted the bike its beautiful shade of pink over the winter the bodyshop cut out a section and moved it back 1/2 an inch!

Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
Have moved the catch tank back 1/2" and cut out the fairing, that should do it until I get new tyres !!!
