It’s been awhile, and if there is a better board to ask this, please tell me. Back round:
My K1100RS fell over against the Wife’s car in the garage years ago,....... dunno how far back now. Broke the upper fairing, bent the fairing and mirror mount inner support structure, scarred up the sides. Of course the priority was her car. After searching for a replacement upper fairing (did look here) I finally got tired of the hassle and just paid the big bucks for an unmolested upper, $600 !!!, listed as NOS but was not. Listed as perfect has minor damage. Found the correct paint, bought it, and then......... got distracted, lost interest, built some BSAs, and Triumphs, and finally put the bike on Non-Ops 2018. While it was busted up and parked: replaced the rear main seal, and also the clutch while in there. Noticed cracked fuel hoses, and replaced all of the fuel lines. Got that back together, and the bike runs and goes down the road as an ugly/naked K. Pulled all the body work down from the rafters, advertised on CL to see if it would move. Got some really CRAZY inquires: “if I change the tires, will it go in the dirt”. WHAT ????? I have started the repaint project and I expect that will get more involved than I want , but need it done. In the looking at it stage, I realize the re-assemble of the body work will be a difficult process. Yup, I took photos. Rats, can’t find them now 6 (?) years later. So, after the background, the question:
Is there a place here with help regarding the assembling the fairing parts? The order of which part goes on first etc? The plan is to fit the parts together to be sure the support tubing will work before painting and doing that struggle with fresh paint. I suppose this topic fairing install process has been asked before, and sure could use the advice.
