There is no adj. to the fairing. Only the bars are adj. by changing the angle under the key/switch cover or by rotating the outward bar's * ( fasteners under plastic caps )

I’ve noticed that mine are unchanged from when I bought the bike new and it’s really close. Never tried to adjust but don’t think there is much room without possible contact. Good luck.
