    Okay, I have a few questions based on some issues I see with my new Hotbodies bodywork. The bike is a 2002 RC-51.



    1) There seems to be a little interference at the front with the air inlet. There is a mounting boss under the inlet for the screen that covers this inlet that, if removed, would let the bodywork sit more naturally. Are these modifications common when installing race bodywork or am I not seeing something?



    2) The area for the handlebars seems much more restricted and suggests that I need to move these bars down to fit within the opening. Is this also common (which actually means I have to relocate my clutch fluid reservoir) or am I not seeing something (again)? Or do I need to stretch it upwards when fabricating a new fairing brace (the old one was toasted in a recent crash)?



    3) The rear tail section does not want to go on with all the wiring and brake reservoir in its current location. Do I need to relocate these? It also looks like I need to modify or remove the under-tray in order for the tail section to properly fit. Again, am I missing something or is this what others have done with their RC51s?



    Any help on this is appreciated,

    Adam

    race body work can be a little tricky to fit

    Already posted on the RC51.org site. I thought I'd try here as well.
