MSTEM Guide – Install Front Fairing Assembly

INSTALL FRONT END STEERING SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

Gather Necessary Tools and Parts:

Components:

  • Driver Fairing Panel
  • Driver Fairing Hardware Assembly Kit
  • Lower Fairing Bracket
  • Upper Fairing Brackets (Should already be installed from Step 3 when installing steering column support.)

Tools:

Wrenches

  • 10mm Wrench (Upper and Lower Support Mounting Nuts)
  • 11mm Wrench (Fairing Pivot Outer Nut)

Allen Wrench

  • 4mm Allen (Upper and Lower Support Mounting Bolts M6)

Installing Lower Fairing Support and Driver Fairing:

Step 1: Attach the Lower Fairing Panel Support

  • Attach the lower fairing panel support to the frame tab at the very front of the frame. Note: The latest version brackets are vertical, unlike the angled brackets shown in the video.
    • 1.1: Use the M6 countersunk hardware and washer to secure the bracket to the tab, placing the rubber washer between the bracket and the tab before tightening.

Step 2: Install the Fairing Panel Pivots

  • Begin installing the three fairing panel pivots onto the lower and upper support brackets.
    • 2.1: Use a 10mm wrench and an 11mm wrench to tighten the pivots, ensuring they are securely fastened before attaching the fairing.

Step 3: Mount the Driver Fairing onto the Supports

  • Push the fairing panel onto the pivots, using the rubber grommets within the fairing, until the pivots protrude through and reveal the hole for the fairing clip.
    • 3.1: For the upper pivots, typically push the clips downward through the holes, following the angle of the fairing (though there’s no wrong way to secure with clips).
    • 3.2: For the lower pivot, position the clip perpendicular to the pivot for ease of installation.
