Rickman fairing
« on: March 02, 2023, 02:21:57 PM »
Hi all. Is anyone here running a Rickman fairing of this style?  I think the model is called the Mark 3/4.

I picked one up a while back to try on my 400, overall I think it could work well, but what do people use for mirrors? There's just about space to mount something near the rear lower corners of the screen, but not much room at all.  I don't want to use bar-end ones either, as I've always found they are too far out of the line of sight.

I think that most people use bar end mirrors with that fairing

I asked my buddy, who had a Rickman Honda for a few years.  He said his had bar-end mirrors.

Thanks, that looks a good arrangement. I suspect they have been created by just bending a normal mirror stem.
