A while back my motorcycle was hit by a large truck in a parking lot. (Some of you might remember the post)

After waiting for the parts and time to do the work, I managed to get it all together to get ready for the riding season here in Colorado.

Here is the "how to" on replacing the upper fairing ona VTEC VFR.

the screw clips to go on the new fairing.

install everything back on the new part and connect your lights. Check them before going too far into the install.

Go in reverse order as shown here and put it all together again.

Here is the end result....
