The vented lower don't work on the 09 unless you mod the fairing.

It does not matter what model or year you buy, you will still end up sinking money into it.....It is like a bad habit you cannot kick.

The fairing is lifted up 7/8 and tilted 2 degrees on the 10. This allows the vented lowers. Picked up the SERG bezzel for $28 from Zanotti's.

All the part numbers for the 10 fairing conversion are here:

Could you post some picture of your backend?? I've got all the same pieces ready to be shipped to the painter when the snow hits and I'd like to get a better idea of what I can expect?

Maybe in a new thread please?

Thanks Heywood
