ultra-low, and they work great!

FYI, I cut them down by 20mm (10mm per side)

That's sounds promising :thumbup: as I have a pair of the ultra-low on order, although with my set-up I'm hoping I won't need to trim the fairing.

IIRC I think Popkat also mentioned cutting them down in length, so I'll bare that in mind :thumbup:

Thanks for the info, my apologies for the thread high-jack,

Chris.

I trimmed the fairing just a little (have a close look at the pics and you`ll see that I simply trimmed the small downward protrusion, essentially keeping the line flowing right to the end). a quick cut with a hacksaw and I filed it smooth (you have to know it`s been done to even notice). Hoping this helps.

I appreciate the advice Micky, thank you :thumbup:
I get what you mean about keeping the line flowing right to the end,
