Did the changeover today to the 2010 Style fairing mounts to allow the installation of new style lowers. No Photos were taken. It is pretty easy, a buddy is a big help to hold the fairing and help with pulling wires out of the old bracket and back into the new one. Only took about an hour to change, but then had to remove the outer fairing and relocate/secure almost all of the main wiring harness, the headlamps sit farther back into the opening due to the angle and the wiring below the radio had to be moved to allow the headlamps to clear. Suggest you remove the headlamps and bezel from the fairing before replacing it, then guess/adjust the headlamp adjustors before putting them back into the fairing, also allows you to check and make sure nothing is in the way of where the headlamps need to sit. Took two times to get the aim correct. I did put a mark on the wall for ctr of beam before starting and just readjusted aim to ctr of that. Anyone could do this, with a friend, and save a hundred over the older style fairings and glove boxes. I really don't think anyone would ever know you had changed the brackets, visually, unless you told them. $139 for the three brackets and $520 for the painted fairings with glove boxes (total $659) beats the $756 for the old style (lowers and gloveboxes). I bought the quik disconnect with the savings. Oh, you could adjust the headlamps with everything back together, but you need a 5MM Deepwell socket and I didn't have one.
