Got some 2" brackets from Bunnings for $2.77 a pair. Lined them with foam to protect the forks.

I painted everything black and put it together....only to find I had forgotten about the angle of the forks, so I had a set of possum lights. Didn't take long to knock up a pair of short alloy brackets to hold the top out at about the right angle

Then I couldn't work out how to mount the fairing...so 100mph tape and wire is doing the job atm:)

Yeah but I have to redo it as it's angled too far back. Will need a bottle or two of Shiraz to get it right methinks:DQuote:

Ben and I considered using the back half with all the Suzuki part# gumpf, but it would have meant welding the front part and the mount back on...so a lot more stuffing aroundQuote:

Went for a ride up my favourite local road to practice my drag starts today. Even when I'm leaning right forward the fucking bike gets way light in the front end...:)
Anyone know where I can get a 190 Shinko ?[:p]:D
apart from front wheel acrobatics, how does it handle with the fatbars on it compared to clipons? i'm dying to take mine for a spin but i can't till i sort out some brakes and go lines:( i think i probably should switch off the 60 tooth rear sprocket beofre i go fanging it around the neighbourhood.....[}:)]
nice work large, it starting to come together nicely
Fuckin' ell Large! You've got a Streetfighter happening there mate! Need to say bye bye to those indicators from hell on the back, the pillion pegs, and put the rego in ..... well, somewhere else anyway.
NICE!!! Did you just paint those pvc pipe clips black then? I love it, I have a gsxr1k I'm working on as well and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Yep just hung them on a coathanger and sprayed them. If you go this route, make sure you line them with something like foam to protect your fork anodisingQuote:
