    Guys is anyone familiar with the best sequence to put the front end back together?

    Do I fit the headlight first then the air ducts and nose cone last? Or do I fit the nose cone to the headlight then fit to bike and fitted air duct? And a what point is best to fit the side panel? The side panel looks like could fit it to the air duct then to the bike?

    I really don't wanna have to give in and drop off at the garage. Just waiting on a few clips and screws to come to get on with

    Headlights to nosecone first (six screws I think) then put front up onto mirror bolts.Screen on.Then put fairings on, when putting fairings air scoops to frame you give them a hard shove into the frame direction to clip in otherwise there will be a gap between them and frame then put bottom of front cowling on (push type clips) clip to inside of fairings then bellypan on.
    Air ducts are part of the fairing these are held onto the fairing with clips and 2 or 3 tiny screws.
