Crooked Fairings
The sad long story told quickly is that I am a noob and crashed my 2011.
 The front headlamp collided with a vertical object. The headlights were shattered, the headlamp assembly bent, and the fairing around it cracked. The bike was driveable afterward. When I sit on the bike with the handlebars and wheel straight ahead, the fairing is about 1/4" to the left. It seems the steel framework that the fairings all are bolted to needs to rotate clockwise. I am mechanical but a novice rider. I can probably fix this, I just don't know whether I should ride again, but that's a different topic.... Any help to get the bodywork back in alignment? |

If you're sitting square, the instrument cluster looks to be rotated a few degrees left/counterclockwise. If you are looking down on the bike, the left fairing is 1/4" away from the gas tank. The shiny black outer fairing is offset, exposing the dull black plastic that it clips into. |

Sounds like you have to take the fairings apart and see what's really happening.. ....they might have shifted
