STOC #8872
I've been working on a refurbishment of a 91, and am very pleased to report that I've reached the reassembly stage.
I went to refit the upper fairing, and that's where the fun begins. I loosely put in the two upper mounting bolts at the front, to hold it in place, and then the two bolts at the lower rear, all good there too.
Then I went to fit the mirrors, and that's when the games began.
The holes in the plastic are out of alignment with the holes in the frame by about 3/4" laterally, and almost 1/2" vertically.
So I remove the bolts I have in loose, and concentrate on one mirror, getting both bolts started there, and onto the other where, so far, I have one bolt in there, and not having fun with the second. But even from where it is, I can tell there is no way I'll easily get the front bolts in.
So, does anyone have any hints, tips, hard won experience, or otherwise that could save me a bit of time while I'm struggling to get this section back on?
Thanks.
