Hello again,
In the process of converting my '92 RS to an LT, here's where I am:
My knees on the RS fairing would sit right up next to the fair but would rarely hit. With the new fairing, my knees are currently sitting inside it. I don't have the fairing guts installed yet, but if they were installed, my knees would have nowhere to go.
So the question is: Would it be such a bad thing to move the fairing forward about an inch by using spacers at the fairing mounting points? I have to fabricate fairing brackets / braces to attach the sides to the frame either way.
