Took a nice ride today, nowhere special , just a little wind therapy.  Here's a picture for all you snowbound riders out there.

One of those "impact" screwdrivers are nice for taking out various tight screws, bolts. Needed to take of some various side covers. thats when I learned about Japanese fasteners being JUST a bit different from other metric fasteners. Back then we had to order replacement stuff from JC Jip Me. I put in allen head screws.

I used the speed clips and in 12 years they've never come off.  Much better than the OEM plastic.

Thanks, I've read that before.  The longer tabs that the fairing screws pass through at either end of the trim piece are the ones I've tried to repair.

I have repaired it more than once and it continues to come apart, so I was hoping for a better one.

That is true.  We always have to be vigilant 100% of the time.  We all need 'repeated' advice and we must all come home safe and sound.  Ride safe.  Thanks for posting.
