Re: Spacers for after market fairing rear section
If it can sit a bit further back, than it will prolly be ok. I get my fairings back from paint I hope this week, so I can get a better measurement if u would like. If not, I would be just as happy to have the ones u made!

I think it fit really nice on my fairing but print this off and cut it out. Let me know see how it fit on yours.

Re: Spacers for after market fairing rear section
Hi mate. I got my fairings back today and tried your paper stencil. I think the spacer needs to be about 3mm shorter and the 8mm hole needs to be moved. I'll measure it up and send it over. Thanks!!

cool!
Sounds like we are nearly there. Let me know about the thickness as well.

Re: Spacers for after market fairing rear section

Here is your stencil, but with some new dimensions! I know the new circle for the hole is smaller, but it still needs to be 8mm. Just moved back 4mm. I changed the thickness to 3mm as well. Also, if you still want to chamfer the front edge, that is ok too. If this works, do you think I could buy two sets from you? Let me know if you have questions, or if you want to send a new stencil for me to match, that is ok as well. Thanks!!

Re: Spacers for after market fairing rear section
hello! sorry i havent replied. I have changed the cad drawings and I want to check what you think the distance of the hole to the straight edge and round edge should be because I wasn't sure if you want to shorten it from the straight edge side or from the round side (it will affect the position of the hole).
This is how it currently looks like. The measurement is a little bit off because I didn't center the ruler when I took the screen shot.

after (@ 3mm thick):
