Dave, its fine; the fairing has been designed to bend the bracket on contact with the ground, then detach the insulation and then self combust :)   It all happens so quickly you wont even have time to notice.... clever, eh?

<snip> Putting the fairing on the ground kind of scares me as this "third leg" will not fold up like the peg will and could act as a pivot point, teetering one tire off of the ground!  Although, rolling off the throttle causes a loss of ground clearance, which is hard to avoid doing when the crap is being scared out of me the instant that the tab hits the tarmac!  Maybe I should just take the lower fairings off perm!
anantly and just forget about them.  Then I don't have to worry about them melting or teetering me off to the hospital!
