Hey all,
Is anyone able to provide a bit of guidance on the fairing install on my M695? I recently acquired a NOS Ducati Corse carbon fiber fairing (at least that's how it was advertised) and I'm having some fitment issues. It didn't come with any instructions, so I've been doing a little bit of guess-work.
The bottom mounting holes are pretty obvious as it came with some hardware that fits right onto the bunny ears along with the headlight, but I'm a bit stumped on the upper mounts. As you can see in the pics, the bolts are definitely not at the correct angle when I mount the supports in the pictured area. I don't want to tighten anything down anymore as the fairing is already under a good bit of tension and I'm afraid of breaking it. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance...

Got some wider shots? Details good, but can't really get the whole picture(ungh puns)
I think I (sort of) figured it out.
In the first pic, the aluminum spacer I was using to push the signals out further needed to go on the brackets for the fairing, instead. That said, it still wasn't a good fit, but it was better.
I ended up trimming about an inch off of the brackets as well as using my tubing bender to put a bit of a curve into them.
