I know I could change it back, but if it's not "easy" then it would sit in my garage for weeks while I get around to it. Not so good. 
The stuff that gets in the way of the race products nose fairing is the top headlight housing. If you push and shove it does kind of coform to the various gubbins, but the sides have to be bent down to fit against the mirror mounting brackets. I can then just about get the bottom mounting point back far enough to be in the right place.
Question: Besides the obvious of trasmitting any shock straight into the headlight unit (risk I shall have to take), is there any argument against having it under tension like that? It might even end up tipped further forwards and down than the original in fact, as it does sit as high on the mirror brackets. |
I'd be tempted to tape up any areas which are in contact between headlamp and fairing, obviously these will rub together through vibration and eventually remove paint etc.
