So how do these mount? I looks like on the <2014 models, holes need to be drilled into the fairing for screws. I'm ok with that, just want to know what to expect.
No holes in fairings needed. They will screw in where the side wind deflectors would mount.

Alright, cutting pieces tomorrow with what material we have, more coming Thursday. SO... should be shipping by Wednesday and Friday this week from Fairfield, Iowa and will have plenty in stock to ship next week for anyone else that is interested. We will use the best shipping rate with Tracking capabilities. I will pm the ones who wanted one. Thanks for the orders, Jeff (For the UK, I have someone working on the possibility to ship there, hope to here an answer soon) (edit 4-9-15 : we have shipped to the UK as well as Canada.)

PMs sent to the orders up through today in the U.S. - Still working on the shipping to the U.K. FedEx is pretty expensive.

Mine showed up today in Buffalo, NY, looks fantastic. Could definitely leave it raw as he went with some nice brushed aluminum material. I'm going to PC mine Semi-gloss black after I monkey with it and install some switch gear and will likely hang my ballasts or igniters off it when I go HID as room is at a premium up there. Highly recommended for the ~$25 or whatever it was. Would buy again, or advise anyone thinking of screwing around and making their own to not waste their time and just get this. I mean come on... small sealed bag with 2 screws, 4 washers and nyloc nuts in stainless flavor, in a correctly sized padded envelope and such. It's a hang tag and two staples away from legit retail ready packaging.

Good job!

Thank you, I appreciate the the few that have ordered. You will possibly need to tie back the cables and bend the black wire formed piece that holds cables. I bent it down just to miss the swing of the bars right to left. Should be straight forward.

The screws are M5 x 20mm stainless in case you need more. I also found that it is the same as the windshield mounting screws. I am trying to obtain some extra push in pieces that Colin recommended for using the wings. If anyone knows of an aftermarket place they've found, just pm me.

The screws that I provided for now will be flush unless you use a bigger washer.... I hesitated at first but once both were in, they lock the dash in place. Shorter M5 screws can be used if you need to place a hole for an instrument close.



Notice the blue color is a 2012 Tenere

I'm curious if anyone has used some sort of rubber or plastic strip for the edge that faces the rider? If so, what did you use? The cables sometime wander and can rub against this edge so it would be nice to have something to mitigate any issues with wear on the cables. I haven't found a good way to secure them prevent any rubbing.

Maybe try an automotive store for door trim as well. I like Andylasers idea.

I tied them back with a few zip ties in different places.
