Flushmount signal / windscreen options. And converting to a 97-98 rear?
Hey guys.
Long story short, I got hit by an SUV yesterday on the bike.
Luckily, I walked away no scratches... and their insurance is taking 100% liability.
Sooo, I'm now on the market for a set of flushmount front signals and a new windscreen. I've noticed that the internet is littered with these, but I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions on a good set? I'm not really crazy about the ones that are literally just lights on the side of the bike, I want them to be seen from the front as well. Also, I'll be looking for a new windscreen as well. Suggestions there? I'm looking for a smoked one, a double bubble might be nice.
Forgive my lack of knowledge of options... I'd really appreciate your suggestions here.
Oh, and although my tail isn't really damaged, I'm considering getting / building an integrated tail and fender eliminator. Although I have a 1996, I prefer the look of the 97-98 tail light. Was either going to grab the Clear Alternatives one, or this one... http://www.hardracing.com/Clear%20Ta...ts/CLHonda.htm
If I wanted to incorporate these, what would I need?
As I understand, obviously I'd need new rear side fairings from a 97-98, as well as the seat from a newer bike. Correct me if I'm wrong. I was also thinking I'd try to find something that provides a solo seat. Anybody have any experience with the Airtech 4CBR69S Honda CBR 600 F3 Supersport race tail (http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/...0F31997-98.htm), or have any suggestions on another solo tail?
Ahh, the closer I look at that Airtech, it seems like there might not be any mounting place for the license plate. Haven't been able to find any pictures of the underside though.
EDIT: Found this http://www.sharkskinz.com/shopexd.asp?id=996 Looks like this might be the best option, paired with this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...ayphotohosting
Anyway, thank you guys for your help. Now that I have some $$ to spend, I'd like to do it right.
