Install brackets but don't tighten the bolts all the way....just tight enough that you can still adjust them with with light force by hand. Then hold cowl up where it goes so you can see where brackets need to be and make your adjustments to your brackets at this time. Remove cowl and tighten all brackets. Next install the cowl you are done!
Hope this helps. Remember the cowl will expand and flex some but don't over do it.

No direct knowledge of Tyga products, but in general be careful with applying excessive force, as if you are bolting CF or ABS plastic down stretched, you are just waiting for it to stress crack.

If it doesn't fit easy then best would be to open out mounting holes or whatever is needed, but just don't stretch/stress CF/ABS parts out to fit.

 

Ok thanks Dutch

 

I had the same trouble, it was a real bitch the holes for the tabs don't line up very good. you really have to muscle it to get in place I thought for sure I was going to break it. but I managed to get it on. I also put the tyga carbon fiber rear hugger on and had to drill monting holes out to use stock bolts.

 

sounds like tyga needs to work on their quality. I wonder if that is that true for all cowls or just the CF ones?

beware of this guy - he is a scam artist and jumps from forum to forum his name is eric climo - google him

 

the quality of the tyga cowl is good. since the brackets freely rotate until properly aligned, it does take some time.

as mentioned above, the best method is to tighten the brackets until they can be moved with light force while test fitting. when in place, torque down.

 

Their quality is top shelf! So good in fact that the fit is really this good.

A loose condom is no good to either party! Tight is good!

Here our in depth video of all TYGA Carbon parts.... including the Under Cowl, and some other Tyga parts.


May help you a little.

 

Installed mine yesterday, took about 30 minutes. Great quality!

 

Was that after reading the fitting advice from the others in this thread, or just in general?

If i was gonna get a seat cowl and a belly pan, which are the best ones to get? I want the short belly pan, not the long one.

I ordered directly from Tyga. Luckily I had a box with bolts in the drawer.

 

Two of my brackets were labeled incorrectly so when I installed them as A,B,C, and D per the instructions nothing lined up. Eventually I compared the shape of the brackets to the instructions and installed them that way. Went right on.

Was just a simple sticker error at the factory.

 

Bummer. Happy to hear you sorted it out.
