Oh, BTW, something I noticed. If lower/rear rubber-grommets for gas-tank don't have metal-bushings in them for precise placement, don't over-tighten bolts. Just enough to touch to squeeze rubber about 1mm. Tightening them more than that causes tank to tilt backwards and ends up messing with upper-fairing fit, which then messes up lower-fairing fit.
