Doing the once over on my bike I noticed that the right side chin fairing seems to be cutting into what I think is an oil line. Going to try to wrap it in a piece of fuel line to prevent further damage. I would be mighty upset (if not injured or dead) if it cut through the line while riding.

The routing is terrible and a serious safety issue. Just a heads up.

Meh... It's not terrible as such : ). It works on most bikes but I had the same problem as I recall. I grabbed a pair of pliers and a rag and bent it JUST SLIGHTLY so it doesn't make contact any more. The same thing happened when I mounted my Force header. It rubbed on the front oil line that leads to the oil cooler (or from it...). I did the same thing to that one. Just a SLIGHT bend is all it took.
