Help fitting Gen 1 Nose Fairing

[1bondoman]

you might think im crazy but the grills in the ram air ducts can cause that problem..if the fairings fit then you put the grills in then they didn't,well.....
I have run into this before,the grills make the diameter of the ram airs larger therefore not letting the ram air tubes fit into the rear of the nose/upper. so then the nose cant go all the way into place like it should be. I have ran into this several times.

I think this is the problem. Did u find a fix?

either get rid of the screens/grills or trim the ram air tubes

I think this is the problem. Did u find a fix?

Thank you! The grills will go today I think!

I removed the grills and it is much better. I didn't realise putting your hand thru and guiding the nose onto the rams makes it a lot easier too. I still have smaller even gaps both sides but I think the nose sits a bit lower than stock so the bend takes them.

Thank you all for your help. I have much much smaller gaps to deal with but most of all they are symmetrical yay!

Im going to find a plastic black mesh, like the ones you see round fruit, and put some black bin bag material behind it to put in the small gaps that are left. I feel this will blend the carbon to the bike best, and remain flexible. Just hope it looks pro lol
