I just received my Airtech bodywork.  My current fairing bracket is bent all to hell so I can't really use it as a guide.
I have a LP race windscreen.  Does anyone have the same setup that can give me a measurement for one of the holes so I will drill the fairing correctly?  I plan to get a good fairing bracket and I would hate to have to re-drill.
 
Also, what kind of fasteners should I use?  Should I use any kind of sealer?
 
Thanks,
Tom

Please ignore the request for a measurement, I decided to wait till I get the bracket before installing the race upper. I'll ride this weekend with the ratty upper that came with the bike and no windshield.

Could still use some advice on what I should use as fasteners.

Which fasteners? Windshield to bodywork or bodywork to bracket?

For windshields, I like to use plastic bolts and nuts, Zero Gravity sells some nice ones. Another method is well nuts with screws, they work ok but I prefer the plastic screws.

For bodywork to a bracket, avoid pinching the fiberglass between the bolt and the bracket, it will crack. A bolt with a sholder works better. The fiber glass is held in place but has some movement which reduces cracking.
