After completely loosing a fairing at high speed and finding many other plastics-related issues from the previous owner after taking it apart I decided to completely replace my plastics. After some issues with an aftermarket set I bought a higher quality aftermarket set. Before it even arrived I decided to bite the bullet and do it the right way. I ordered all Honda OEM replacement plastics from my dealer and had them replace pretty much everything, save the front tire hugger. I also had them replace the RAM air ducts because the previous owner chopped the old ones up doing some garbage HID kit install and had them taped together with electrical tape. I didn't get a brand new headlight assembly because I had just recently replaced it due to having to ditch the aforementioned HID headlights in favor of OEM, but the headlight assembly was an OEM part that was in good shape. The issue I am having now is that the front black pieces that go under the headlight assembly, as well as the front cowl, are not solidly linked together and have gaps. I have tried to show this in pictures, but it doesnt really photograph well. I feel like a part or several parts are missing, something that would join them all together and pull them in tight to the headlight assembly.
Here is the best I can do with a photo:
Another annoyance is that both fairings don't seem to line up with a retainer push pin that seems rather important to structural integrity. I cannot capture this is picture, but the push pin goes through a few other pieces, but where it looks like it should go into the fairing itself is about 3/4" off on both sides.
This is the pin I'm talking about, and the fairing hole is about 3/4" too far rearwards.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
