Lots O love :)

When you get a chance can you take some picts of the mounting points for your fairing? Would be much appreciated!!

Did you straight up fab all the stuff to move your footpegs back, or is there a kinda generic kit for this somewhere?

I think the best pic is second from the bottom on page 2. It's pretty much all there. You should have asked a couple of weeks ago when I had it off for some maintenance :) Now that I'm thinking about it, if I were you, and I may check into this myself, I would look into some sort of quick change system, it takes me too long to take the faring off, there are better systems out there.

Generic kit. I think I posted the link on page 1 or two.

I'll try and take some photos next time I'm at the shop.

Why do they feel the need to label everything a "cafe racer", that bike is a beautiful "race replica" , functional , well built and it has a full fairing....  That bike should be called the "anti cafe" because it is all things most cafe's aren't....

Hey Bluegreen,

Ever get your bike on a Dyno? I have a set of Dynoman's 592/61S pistons, the WebCam 358b grind, Mike's stage 3 porting, and a few other trick bits waiting to be assembled and installed, and I'm hoping to get an idea of power I'd be making with my setup.

Love the bike though, you've inspired me to do a few things to my bike as well. Steering damper, oil cooler, fairing, etc.

I've meant to, just haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks!! Me too :) I'm stoked to follow your progress. The oil cooler is a must with a fairing. You should get in touch with member boogiedude, sounds like he's up to some cool stuff as well and in your neck of the woods.

Haha I've been in touch with him for a while. Started with a 650 cam, and now we're in the same riding group, I've helped him with his bike, and he's helped me with my el camino.

Anyway, my build should be taking off real soon. Just waiting on my crank from APE then I can start assembling everything.
