no. up towards the cowl. the pin section will end up closer to the cowl... which will help the cowl seat more flush to the rear fairing. put a long socket over the pin and just whack the socket a few times. may take a few tries to get it just right. basically what you are trying to do is to bend the bracket as much as you can while still allowing the pin to catch in the lock. also, you gotta change out the pads. you could file the ones in the kit down, but it was taking too long for me and it wasn't coming out nice. i just went to the hardware store and bought some rubber pads.
