fairing from china
Hey man, I have a ton of small questions for you. Is that a black tank fairing? did it come with your kit? What was the website for where you ordered yours, and how much did it cost? How long did it take to get to you? thanks Joe
RAWR AT THIS ROOM!
Oh you wanna sit down?... yea you can't do that here.
This is her nakie
And here's a few install pics, notes added.
The tank cover is probably the biggest piece of $%^&* god ever allowed to be molded into a frame. I think im going to use it as a cup holder by my desk from now on anyways.
Center cowl fit better than I expected, cept the "included" screws were a no go. So I scavenged and found a few of my own that worked just fine.
The left and right uppers fit with a bit of work and such... I had to put almost the whole set together before putting it on the bike because the fit was incredibly tight.
The biggest problem I ran into came when putting on the tail. Then it hit me... this is for the 97-98 models... %^&* %^& $%^& $%^ $%^.
Eventhough it was listed to fit 95-96.
But I just figured I would covert to the new tail soon and call it.
Me being the crafty guy I am, I modded a few pieces of the light and the tail fit... oddly and ugly, but for now it's ok.
.
I wish I could take more pictures but I was dog tired and it got dark wayy to fast.
I'm still working on my bike... looks like i gotta paint the tank
Overall the fairings were a SUPER TIGHT FIT.
Kinda iffy about it all because the plastic is rather soft in some places...
I had t cut pieces of the lower fairing holes to make the tail fit.
Some screws were a pain to get in there... some screws aren't in there.
It scratches Very easy, and after a long 2 hour test drive, the fairings held well, though the lowers had to be readjusted in order to prevent any warping. The bike needs a lot of work, but at least the windshield looks nice.
More pics to come soon!

Sure, PM me if you want, I don't even use the tank top, and id be willing to take some pics or sell it to ya!
Normally they are 50+ shipping, abs plastics, and from Hong Kong like the rest.
It fits, and looks alright I guess, but I had no need for it (I have a magnetic tank bag)
If you got 25 bucks, and whatever this beast is for shipping, its yours buddy.
Ill take some more pix of it if ya want?
