I just installed my front tipover bars a couple months ago maybe. It wasn't fun that's for sure. The bottom of the right side sits a little closer to the fairing than the left but there isn't much room on either side. The right has maybe an eighth of an inch of space between the top of the bolt head and the fairing but the left has only about one quarter of in inch space so not a huge difference from side to side. I didn't measure anything to see if I was symmetrical since the only real adjustment seems to be in the exact positioning of the mounting brackets themselves and that would only affect the height of the tipover bar and not the distance away from the engine and thus the fairing as long as you have the spacers in the correct positions. I definitely will need to have the mid fairing sections loose to take the bars off without mucking up the paint in my opinion. Maybe I could have gotten the brackets positioned just a little better had I spent a little more time on it but I just wanted to get them installed and be done with it.
Yes, but that tiny bit of extra room on the left makes the difference between being able to take off the bars with the fairing attached, and having to do acrobatics with the right fairing in order to get the bars off.
