I don't know if it's just me or does something about this bike look disproportionate?

Yeah I agree. The turn signals are just too massive for a smaller bike like that.

That fairing is way to big for that bike. Look how far that headlight sticks out from the original position. A small screen would have been much more appealing.

That fairing is also sitting too high and canted forward too much. Must have been a home made bracket...

that faring makes the bike bone ugly

Here is that same bike without the fairing...click on the pic to make it bigger.

the bulkiness of the fairing definatly dwarfs the rest of the bike..

reminds me of a little kid with those giant joke sunglasses on.

lol isn't that with 2 "L's"

Looks like a homemade transplant to me. Almost looks as if that fairing was for a square headlight....

This is the faring they should have had on that bike.

FUGLY...pronounced fah-glee

I think that you are all wrong about that bike......all it needs is bigger wheels with fatter tyres.

Does anyone know if a 16 inch Harley tire will fit on my 400...

Johnie · « **Reply #15 on:** February 07, 2009, 06:30:43 AM »

That is the basic 1970's style Vetter Windjammer fairing. Made for larger bikes of course. I had one on my CB750K7 back in the day.

UnCrash · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2009, 05:03:01 PM »

Not that my bike is much of a looker, but the later windjammer doesn't look as bad with a short windshield.

I plan to lower the fairing about an inch as well by modifying the mounting bracket. My goal is to get it low enough to get superbike bars on it with the fairing on.

Yeah, it looks good on that bike. But on a 400??? WTH?
