Can someone enlighten me to how the air scoops are attached to fairing.
I have the scoops and black air funnels but no hardware to connect the scoops to fairing.
Are the scoops to be removed easily?
I haven't installed new fairing yet so I'm not sure how close the black funnels get to cylinder Head for maintenance purposes.
What year is your bike ?
Also go this site, might help. Go to the year and model, should be under cowling diagram.

If they're similar to my 84, they just use a plastic rivet similar to these: http://www.retainerfinder.com/gm-21030249/ (http://www.retainerfinder.com/gm-21030249/)
If you have a junkyard nearby, many GM W body cars (Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Olds Cutlass) around 2000-2005 use 5 of these rivets across the top of the rear bumper cover. Just pop the trunk lid and pull them out.
On my 86' there is a tab that hooks into the fairing towards the front, a plastic rivet and a machine screw with a flanged washer/standoff under the lower fairing protector. The inner scoop sits close to the top of the head. The year of fairing matters.
My bike is an 85 but I bought the scoops off of a forum member.
Thanks a bunch for the help.
Im sure I will find some scrivets at work.,
the scoops attach to the "funnels" with screw, and then there should be holes for plastic pop rivets.

#29 and #32 are machine screws, with #30 and #31 collars to go with them. #39 is a plastic reusable 'rivet'.
