You could take the two triangular parts and mount them on the sides of your bike to look like wings.....with the cone-shaped nose, it would look like a Concorde jet.  Maybe you could ride supersonic speed!   :D

That is one ugly fairing, but the Pacifica on the Kawasaki
KZ1300 is a close second.

The question that Craig Vetter would ask is, "what will it do for aerodynamics and gas mileage?"  Function, then form.

Those helmets (and uniforms) are from the old Battlestar Galactica series.

I wonder if the bikes have a "turbo" button?

I will NOT ... repeat NOT... Put one of those on my XS750 when it's done.

Although.... after seeing this, I'm second guessing the trucker 'Stache and Superwedge.  I think the combination does it  ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
