Aside from removing the upper fairing, installing the Motoholders fairing stay is a simple operation. Simply remove the OEM stay and be sure to retain the three grommets and C-clip that hold the instrument display in place. You’ll also need to retrieve the gasket that goes between the OEM bracket and the frame’s intake snorkel.
Here’s the required OEM snorkel gasket installed.
Mounting is a straightforward process. You can re-use the four screws that held the OEM fairing bracket in place. We replaced the original screws with Ti Allen-head hardware.

Re-install the instrument cluster and wire it up. You could have it on the bracket before you start, but then why run the risk of dropping a tool on it if you don’t have to?
Add aftermarket fairings, line up and drill two holes to keep the upper in place and you’re ready to go!
