If I ever have to do it again...that will be the way I do it.

Of course I couldn't get the gauges off w/o removing the aforementioned fairing anyway.

Hey did you guys drill bigger holes in the fairing to put the well nuts in? OMG! Typically,the well nuts go into the fairing stay/support and/or the windshield which you slide behind the fairing and then you put the screws into the fairing and into the well nuts which pull the windshield up tight to the fairing! No wonder you had such problems!

NO NO! The aftermarket windscreen's holes were too small. The nuts did not fit into the windscreen. Mark drilled the windscreen...not the fairing.

Oh...are there bigger holes in the fairing stay/support? Sometimes you put the well nuts into the fairing stay and run the bolts thru the fairing and the windshield.

In the pics it looked like you had the well nuts thru the fairing and the windshield. Anyway,looks good!!

When I took off the old windscreen the rubber nuts were though both the windscreen and the fairing. All but one fit fine going through both. You cannot see them in the pictures...you can see the rubber washers that cover the nuts.
