I just did a rad flush on my 2014 ktm duke, and now trying to reassemble it I have it all back together except the front pin on my shifter side fairing does not want to go into its housing! I've been trying to line it up for 45 minutes. Any tips or suggestions??

Has anyone successfully upgraded their 2016 EXC-F plastic to the new 2017 design? Will it bolt right up or am I looking at new tank, subframe, ect? Mostly interested in the side plates, radiator shrouds and front/rear fender.
