Well, I'll start by saying, this is an easy one. You'll need some epoxy, (5min Devcon�, works really well), grill material, tin snips, (or heavy material cutters), and some black or clear silicone.
This mod is reversable, should you come to dislike it, at a later date. I had a different material on, before, but I wanted the same grill material, to match my Bug Buster. This mod WILL NOT cause your bike to run hot. I have found that it helps kee about 70% more road desbris from sticking to the head, block and headders.
In my case, I wanted the grill to point downward, but the material was not large enough. So,.. I wired 2 pieces of it together, end to end. (Seen in areas 2 & 5).
1) Cut your material to size. Be sure it doesn't lap-up onto the boss of the plastic, where the bolts go through. (The fairing will be a pain to put back on the bike, if grill material is on the bosses).
2) Lay the grill on the fairing. and, "epoxy by the numbers", (marked by the green ovals), 1-6. Do each section at a time, NOT all at once.
3) After doing areas 1-6, and the epoxy being set, the area of grill at the top will be protruding. Working from the bottom to the top, of the fairing, suport the edge of the fairing with one hand, and push the grill material out through the openings. This takes a little finessing, and you'll probably have to do it a couple of times, to get it even.
4) At this point the protrusion at the top, (area 7), should be minimal to non exhistant. NOW epoxy this area.
5) This is optional. Marked by the red line, is where I smeared black silicone. You may not want the added weight. I did it to help insure overall adhesion, (in case of a big rock, or something hitting), to dampen any noise or vibration, and to keep from tearing my fingers to ribbons, when removing the fairing.
