Great addition, gives it retro flavor
Just received my long awaited black Daytona fairing and was excited. It has the correct storm black color that BMW used, and came with all the stainless hardware in a ziplock bag. The instructions for installation are mostly pictorial, which for the most part, OK. Do pay attention to the direction of the brackets as which are truly right or left, and to which smaller fastener your picking up to install the fairing to the bracket itself. It would be a good idea to have a torque wrench on hand that registers in newton meters as there are six 8mm bolts that need to be torqued properly. And to recheck them after installation again as I believe the stainless spacers used are trying to seat themselves. The brackets cannot or I say should not be tightened immediately as you need to position the fairing squarely over them. To do so is to do one side at a time, and watch that the suspension does not drop. If your careful and patient, have all your tools on hand and work in a well lit room the installation is gratifying. It truly does remind you of a mid 70's R90S, and will help keep the wind and insects off your chest. All in all, a great product.
