It's had some repairs but paint and bog will sort that.
It's also got an aftermarket smoked screen which is a bit rough so I'll get rid of that as I want a black one.
I might try cutting it down and painting it first and see how it goes.

I'll finally be able to get rid of that POS dirtbike set up and have some decent lights.

Tidy purchase Phil,foto looks big as a close up ,coz the bike is in the background.And what a fuckin horny lookin mole it is(the bike).Those pillion pegs are costing you about .08HP at thje rear wheel mate,women are costly.
Ive been squinting,but cant see any HD gear in the background,so you sold the tractors after AFR???

Look harder Davo. It's like where's Wally, but with tractors.


Will do a cable tie mock up of the fairing over the weekend so you can get an idea of how it looks.

Held on with cable ties.
I was thinking that instead of chopping up the original steel mounting bracket, I might make something new that uses the rubber straps off the dirt bike headlight fairing I am using now. Would make mounting very easy.
I think it needs a shorter screen.

My mate reckons I should just paint it black, but I reckon I should put the stripe on it. What do youse think ?

The canaries are undecided.

Yep for the stripe as it follows from the guard and yep to a smaller screen mate, that's way too big. Get a saw/cutting wheel to it and cut a V shape into it about level with the bars at the most and then sand the edges to make it look good.

Rocket

Yeah I'll get a black one for it, I'm sure the original ones are shorter than that.

Looks great Phill, I'd continue the stripe up the screen when you get the black one.

Kindly done by a couple of the guys on another forum.
Stripes definately the go.

hey rocket.. looks good.

I thought about this for my zx6. Do you think it would fit straight on?

Rocket
30-04-2007, 05:58 PM
Probly more chance fitting straight on yours than on mine.
Bring it over and we'll have a look, I have the brackets and everything to fit it up so it wouldn't be hard to check how it fits on yours before you go spending money on your own.
Will PM you my contact details.

i just can't get over how clean that turbo install is...[:p]
I like that fairing, but if you want to keep the windscreen and have a good look, trim it down.;)
