Since it's cooling off around here,thought I'd install the fairing lowers.

I found the right side very bottom rubs/hits the cam cover , is this normal, or have I done something wrong?
I installed according to manual, or what I thought, the manual read anyway.

Thanks

Take-off tank-Cover then loosely install right-lower and tighten too a happy medium then install cover.

Upstate NY we also get colder 4 seasons (Winter) (Winter) (Winter) (Summer).

That is exactly how I did it.
Tried repositioning clamps , and wiggling things, but nor change to speak of.

I'm thinking about trimming it, but don't want to screw it up.

I don't know about installation, but rather than trimming can I suggest using a hot air gun to heat the lower a little bit and then forming to clear the cam cover? I put a lot of work into prepping a rear fairing and then found that it rocked on the frame. Heating it gave me a nice solid fit. I should point out it was before painting, though.

I didn't know you could bend fiberglass?

Make sure you have washers where they are supposed to be during the clamps/gas tank cover installation.

Makes a big difference!

I'll have a look at that.
