Justin,
The second image showing the U around the down tube ... those are slotted holes on the fairing mount correct?

Meaning you still have room to slide the fairing mount up some more? Or is the key lock raised section in center blocking it from going up ?

The raised section is stopping it from going up any further.

The nylon spacer seems fine to me; mine also is a little displaced but I did not check the offset - might be smaller.

That's a genuine relief. Thanks.

Maybe one for the instructions? "Don't tighten the T Bracket until it bends to touch the lower triple, as it might pull the anchor out." ;)

I'll check with Harlan - it may become a fabrication revision instead.

A lot of the overhead I've seen behind the scenes basically amounts to coordinating suppliers and drawings so that everything is made around a coherent specification and geometry. Making a set of brackets come together like this and fit very well is pretty time-consuming.

Indeed, I'm familiar with the process myself, I regularly deal with CnC laser and 3D fabrication firms.

Nor is it cheap either to revision a part either.
Plus the part in question is CnC fabricated, welded, and powder coated, which on a small scale also costs.

All in all this was a easy fit, and I'm more than happy with the quality of the Fairing kit. :D
