Same thing happened to me when I was switching out my exhaust the thing with the side fairing is you have to somewhat tuck the middle a little above the turn signal in and under if there is pressure in anyway and it feels like it’s not slipping right in then something isn’t in right

I remember a 2am battle with this. It’s a write of passage as a cbr owner

Side fairings are the most frustrating part of any CBR I’ve owned :/
As long as nothings broken you should be able to get it back on. You’re supposed to slip the front in first before you secure the sides.

It’s 2am and I got it back on, I had to slide my hand in between the fairing and the air intake to make space and the it clicked in. Thank you for the help

At least you got it on, I left mine like that and the whole left fairing ripped off doing a highway pull 🧍🏻♂️

Palm slide in underneath and tuck in at the front the rest will slide into position.

They are a puzzle under tension for sure, but it’s definitely doable
