Fairing is ok, not sure I like the lines on it to much though. Does take some wind off.

              Hey, Sharp looking bike. I know what you mean about the fairing. Thing is, it's your bike and if
      the fairing works for you then you should keep it. Sometimes, a little striping or something like that
      can really set it off. I used to think that the Vetter fairings were the thing, and then, I realized that
      I didn't want to add that much weight to it. Now, I'm kinda into mini fairings and am considering
      one of those 1/2 fairings like Ducati or Dunstall types. Biggest thing stopping me is......MONEY!!!!
      Just my 2 cents (plus) worth. ;D

                                                         Later on, Bill

Oooh, baby! Very nice set-up. Reminds me of the look of the first BMW R90S.

No real weight involved, those fairings weigh less than a pound because they are plastic.

I found the fairing on ebay, it was about $50. Comes black so you can paint it to match your bike.

I think I'll get some decals from Carpy and put on the fairing :)

I know what you mean, maybe needs an air dam.

      I'm not talking about the small fairings being heavy, I mean the Vetter Windjammers. They weigh alot more than a pound. I couldn't tell you the actual weight but, they are heavy and bulky.  I've got the one I took off of my 80' CB750K and I won't be putting it back on. A mini or a 1/2 fairing maybe, because THEY don't weigh much. ;D            Later on, Bill

I like the look of the mini fariing.
If someone needs a Vetter fairing I have several.

One thing. What is with the rat/mouse/rodent on the couch ?  ???
Or is it a Hamster?
peace,
