On that neutral light, I've found that if you park the bike in gear for a few times the plunger [that's what the switch is] will free itself up.

Hope all's gone well!

I believe the fairing is a Pacifico. The previous owner had it painted and installed. He only put 3000 miles in the 3 yrs that he had the bike and those miles were either naked, sport fairing or the large fairing. It was on the bike when I bought it and on the 300 mile ride home it gave pretty good coverage and that includes several storms. It is for sale and I have sent you an email with details. I'll be selling the sport fairing too!
