  • Lower Cowl Install

    2014 GL , on the Upper right and left sides there are two sizes of screw. Which hole does the long screw go to?
    I got the cowl back on but it doesn't fit up right!

    It has been a while but if I recall correctly, one of the holes goest through two plastic parts and its screw has a longer shoulder.
    If I remember correctly.

      Long one goes to the inner portion of the cowl if memory serves.

        I believe this is correct. The longer screws will go in the top right, and top left if I'm reading the manual correctly. Basically, they have a longer shoulder because they go through two pieces of plastic.

            When reinstalling the lower cowl does the two upper left and right tabs go inbetween the the two pieces or behind both of them?

                That might be a bit excessive, but it is normal where the cowl meets the valve covers to have a gap. Just what it is.
