Maybe JBWELD appropriate sized washers and or custom made "L" & "Z" shaped light
alum brackets in behind Indy ? ! Might take a little adjusting to get them (fairings) to
sit firm but not "stressed" if you know what I mean.

The belly pan I'd recommend you use external washers on - as they did with the OEM
versions and you'll be painting to black anyhow so you won't see much down under.

My own 87 I ordered paint through Colorite today in PB-187M Winterlake Blue Metallic
(really a blue hued silver) so as to paint up the nose fairing next week. Getting there
with this 87 - hope to have her on the road for the big holiday July 4th

I'd do as Sprock suggests. Prevention always being better than cure.

Great to hear she's taken shape again Indy. Remember to install all the marker lights too!

Today I am going to finish the few small repairs to cracks/broken tabs on the fairing, refit it all, then transfer ownership, and then get her registered. I will post pictures when it is all finished/

After the alternator damper replacement, it starts on the touch of the button. I'm sooooooooooooo excited!!!

There will be a run on the weekend as my partner has her learners permit and we have to get her license sorted prior to 5 weeks in Vietnam on bikes in October.

Cheers, SB

So, is the Ford logo up for grabs? Let me know before cb2cbr jumps on it. I think he was planning on sticking it onto one of those planes he has there.

Repaired my lower fairings - glass fibre - not too bad and a lot stronger than the original....
Busy with oil leak from tappet cover - crummy gasket
Then a full under - body power clean and she'll be good to go.....
