Remember that I said "How did I accurately mark the centre of the headlight lens on the outside of the nose fairing?"..in other words, I have already done it.

Nick is closest but still no cigar.........

METHOD
1. Remove fairing
2. Place "Workmate" in front of bike
3. Place DIY Store "Laser Leveller" on Workmate and aim it at the centre of the light.
4. Install fairing - caution not to bump into workmate!
5. Mark centre of light where laser dot projects onto fairing.

Hey presto - job done!!

I cut the hole by measuring the diameter of the len, then scribing a circle on the fairing (using an Art Shop "circle cutter"), then cut hole with my trusty old jigsaw.

Cheers,

RX
