Hey y'all. It is my first time installing aftermarket fairing kit. I have the kit ready to go. But I would like to hear some feedbacks and advices from fellow riders who have more experience with this.

Well its pretty straight forward take a piece off and put a piece back on. If you are working with a bike that has the plastics on it already work your way from the front to the back. If its already torn down start where you please.
If its an Ebay set don't expect a perfect fit I have experience with two of them and both had minor fitment issues had to bore out some holes some where not drilled at all. Minor paint blemishes but nothing major. No real advice other than expect some minor blemishes and and missing boltn holes |

Are the holes predrilled? If not, to a test fit and get a marker to mark the holes. You may need another hand to hold stuff in place for a flush fitment. While not perfect, they can be done well.

The holes are pre drilled. Yeah there was some adjustment needed to be made. But overall looks well to me. I have a question for y'all. The aftermaket fairings didn't come with the insulation and heat protection as found on the stock fairings. What would you recommend ? I've been told about dynaliner. But I wanted to make sure before purchasing it

Any type of heat shield will help prevent the fairings from warping due to the heat of the headers. Just go to your local auto parts dealer and pick some up. Use the stock set for a template and you cant go wrong.

Hey. Wanted to show how it turned out. There was only few minor fitments. But it turned out well in my opinio. Only thing left is to paint the gas tank to match the fairings. I'm planning to have a professional do it. I'm not at that level.
