Fairing.. Gun turrett.. Tomato, potato. I think Ronco makes them. Looks like it has the grate and slice option. Needs a winch and a roll bar.

I think I figured out what those little marks on it are, though.  They look a lot like those made from contact by a 10 foot pole!

I guess it was put on after the bike was dunked in the vat of black primer.

Even the rats won't get near it!

At least he didn't mention the fairing in the list of "Features"...

On that note, can anyone think of a way to describe it in a positive way?

How bout

"Custom made fairing using vintage manufacturing techniques"

Handcrafted, one-of-a-kind, guaranteed forever and a great conversation starter! i.e. "wtf?" :o

The guys at OCC are gonna be pissed that they didn't think of it first.

"Custom diamond plate fairing, soon to be featured on American Chopper" ;D


BTW it looks like he has a ton of space in his garage.  Maybe his gf threatened to leave him if he didn't get rid of that awful bike....

No no no - get on your bike, wait near a firestation.  When you hear the sirens, gun it and rear end the fire engine as fast as you can.

            why) and now I'm----- NOT liking it even MORE!!! This time I think I saw some of that
            diamond plate on the taillight!!!  Why did I take a 2nd look??? 

                                                "BACK AWAY FROM THAT BIKE!!!!!!!!!!"
 
                                       I gotta get outta here, I'm starting to get delirious

I particularly like the sharp corners on the upper section of the fairing.  If you went over the bars, this would slice you open like gutting a fish.  You'd be disemboweled before you hit the pavement.
