Drilling for inner fairing mirrors
I just received my painted inner fairing from harley and I'm about to drill the mounting holes for the mirrors. I compared the template that was sent with the fairing to the old fairing and it looks like the templete is going to have me drilling the holes lower than the stock unpainted fairing. Did you guys drill them according to the template or did you fudge the template and drill the holes higher.
Thanks
Thanks

I mounted mine according to the template included with the mirrors and really wish I had drilled about an inch higher than what the template calls for. I'm 5'11", and the mirrors don't have the upward adjustability that I need for a perfect view. They aren't at all unusable, but just not quite perfect.

Have a friend who brought the painted inner fairing from HD and the Split Vision Mirrors - the ones with the convex spot. He used the template HD sent and once mounted found they are too low.
He also said the convex mirror in the Split Vision Mirror is just about worthtless as the convex spot is on the inside corner of the mirror.
Aim higher - based on my friends bike I'd say at least an inch.
