So TurboJoe and I set out to install his Leo Vince full system on his 2005. He has the Suzuki lowers on it. It seems the LV collector and the lower right fairing mount want to occupy the same space. Anyone have any experience with this?

Leo Vince Full with Lower Fairing
1 - 20 of 20 Posts
That is the idea right now. We are looking at 1" or so spacer. We need to file down the mount as much as possible to get it to clear the pipe. Then we need to find a spacer to make it work. We will also need some heat tape to reflect the heat off the fairing.
Anyone have some pics of any solutions?
Is there any fear of having the fairing stressed along that lower portion from being spaced out there?

SBK. High Mount. Used off ebay. Fit is awesome, sound is amazing. Just need to figure out this interference.

i cut my fairing
and used a bolt to hold the fairing out a lil bit (topped with a vaccum plug)
works great
and actually i think it looks better
i'll get pics of the actual underside tomorrow (i know your still waiting)

What did you use to cut it? Did you have to touch-up paint at all?

a 3" cut off wheel
and no i didn't touch anyhting up
i had taped it off of course
and then it's all about steady hands
when you cut at that stuff, it kinda just bunches itself up...it doens't really crack or run
after the cut i just kinda took off the excess......hit the edges real lightly with the wheel
then used some 1000 sandpaper (wet) and kinda just touched it up
you can't notice at all
but i am plannin on painting later....so i wasn't too worried about it
but even if i wasn't goin to paint...i would still feel comfortable with the way i did it

Hum.. That must be something you only get with the full system. I have the Carbon SBK slip-on and it didnt come with that D:
I've been considering upgrading mine to a full system.

Anyone have this same problem with just the lower chin faring, i have been riding for a month without it and it seems like I would have to cut a lot off to make it fit again.
