    Hard to believe you spend so much money on
    something that doesn't fit any better than
    a Nike on the back of your VFR. I will say
    that after taking the thing on and off the
    bike no less than 20 times that its starting
    to fit better. However, what were they thinking
    when they molded the light? Also, what the
    hell is the deal with the cut out in the top
    of it?

    Anyway, here is how to fix it.

    Tape up the light and screw it in. Also
    install the lower fairing. Without this
    part the sides don't fit the same[V]...

    Then get out your polyester resin and some
    chopped cloth in smallish pieces and lay
    them over the opening in the top. Let dry
    then bondo and shape. The deeper red bondo
    is a spot putty that fills pinholes and
    cracks.

    I still have a little shaping to do on
    the light opening but it already fits
    MUCH better than what they think is quality.

    ON a happy note I got my rear wheel finished[:D]
