will you need to move the rads back Al?
I had to when I had the 954 front end, otherwise the lock to lock steering isn't very good.
I might have to look at that, any tips from when you moved teh rads? the top mounts are easy, but what did you do with to bottom mounts that bolt to the front Cyl? if you move them then you lose the fairing mounting clip location
You can move the brackets that bolt to the front head back a little and still meet the fairing holes, as long as you only move the rads back 20mm.
I secured the fairing mounts to the brackets using cable ties instead of button fixings, it gives you a bit more flexibility in lining it all up.
20mm rearwards is enough for clearance for blade 50mm forks; the legs touch the top hose linking the two rads but this just gives a "soft" stop to steering lock- you can turn it a little more by compressing the hose slightly before it hits the metal stops. It's useful when moving the bike around when parking but of course you never get near the stops when riding.
But afterwards, I found that the rads stay in place well enough with just the hoses locating the lower edge, and you can then do away with the brackets entirely. More lightness.....
Leaving the fairing lower points disconnected never caused a problem for me, I often forgot to fit the little buttons and nothing falls off or flaps about.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
