Hello all, I have a gap in the fairing behind the riders seat. dose anyone else have this gap? Or am I missing a clip as there is nothing there?

Is it round? If so it could be a slot for the seat lock key, I think I saw photos of the lock being placed behind the riders seat rather than behind the passenger seat. Yeah, Haynes manual section 8.2 image 2.2a.

Thanks for getting back so quick gdwebb, it's where the fairing meets together not a hole like Haynes image. Cheers

Are they OEM or aftermarket fairing panels fitted? A lot of aftermarket ones from China, etc are a pretty poor fit.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

the only clips fit top and bottom at the front of the fairing, near where you park your bum. these are a flat clip with a dimple that fits into the small holes between those parts of the fairings shown as part 9 here..

Some Chinese fairings are not a good fit here.
