    Any ideas where the 'knee rub' and 'top side fairing' go from this diagram?

    You'd think so wouldn't you ... The pieces don't seem to fit where you'd expect them to go...

    I've done a few kits and fitting is easy ...

    Just got nose cone and the bits I mention to install... Looks pretty good.

    Thanks... The shape of the film for those areas just doesn't make sense to me!

    Well the nose cone has me beat... Got the rest done but after two hours called it a day with the nose cone... I thought it would be easy but there are a couple of curves the film simply won't sit right over ... Will get a Pro to sort it.

    If it's the upper parts where the mirror goes, I think by memory you have to give it a pull and stretch it a bit and then push the water/baby shampoo mix out and works then.

    It's all one part ... the whole nose cone including upper and lower sections. I cannot get it crease free ... I removed it four times to ensure alignment is perfect and even stretching you get creases ... ImageUploadedByTapatalk1416776030.110946.jpg
    Did consider heating the film up to help it bend but the issue is then the adhesive warms up and it quickly becomes difficult to work with...

    I've stuck it back on the backing paper for now .., it's going to need a good soaking in water before its applied again as it's now full of lint! :(

    Did a perfect job of the side fairings too... Lol
