got my new fairing protectors from RPM today and promptly drilled a big hole in 2 of them.  :good2:
I'm assuming they went missing due to a previous owner breaking the ones that cover the fairing retainer screws.
so I did this so they won't have to be removed and only an FJ purest will know it isn't factory.
I finished leveling out the plug after I took the pic. lol

I had ideas to make a solid puck for the lower position and bolt it to the frame. Then it would be real "Protector".
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
