CBR600RR Tail Fairing fitting tips??

Guys,

I really need some help here. It takes me ages to take off and put the tail fairing on my 04 CBR600rr. I always have to struggle to pull the sides wide out from the bottom before pulling the fairing back. And the worse is to put it in. It is a freaken struggle to pull the sides wide out and get it to slide into the tail. I curse the designer who did it everytime I have to do it. Sadly I gotta do that atleast once a month when swaping the fairings with the track ones.
Does anyone out there know and easier way to do it? I could be doing something wrong.

PS: Smartaces, I cannot afford to get another track bike so don't give me that, n not even to ride with the ones on it on the track. Its bloody expensive to do that. Check my bike out and you will know why.

I don't if this will help but on my 1000RR I slip the right side (facing the rear of the bike) of the fairing in place and then pull the left side wide enough to fit over the under-tray. Goes on easy every time.

How many times have you taken your tail off? If it is your first time or two it is a little bit of a pain in the butt. But after a while it gets easier. But for now try sliding the tail section on from the exhaust end of the bike while pulling the tail open to clear the under tail tray.
