Sorry bro. I don't exactly have that problem since mine hasn't come in yet! But a freind who works at the dealership let me try one on my bike just to get a visual and it had the exact gap problem we've been talking about. I actually ordered one off of ebay so Im hoping it doesnt have that problem. The stealership wanted $130 for the damn cowling!
Here's the link to the one that I ordered:

Hard to tell if it is OEM or aftermarket though. I just hope it fits like Kelly's pic.
