Gap between bottom fairing and front wheel?
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!!

Bikes a 583 - 600ss

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

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 !!!
