Where did you buy your fairings from? How do they fit?

 

They're Hong Kong fairings - I bought them from a company on ebay called "needonlymotos" or some such. I'm going to reserve judgement on fitment for a few days - I'm having some issues, but as cattywampus as this bike has been so far, I'm hesitant to blame the fairings until I get a good eye on it all.

 

Ordered the right taillight for the bike, but I still need to find a seat. Hopefully I'll be able to at least ride it when I get back from MN.

 

Bike is completely together, and I rode it earlier. It'll idle and rev all day long, but while you're actually riding, it takes periodic spells of starving for fuel. If you play with the throttle for a minute, it'll come back, and sometimes it'll even die. I am confused at this point lol

 

Maybe try to gravity feed and see if the fuel pump is acting up. Maybe the contacts are going bad? How about the fairings? Quality, install, and look?

 

Pump is brand new, but you never know.
Fairings don't fit the greatest, I have some issues around the headlight, but I still wonder if it's the bike and not the fairings. They look good, and as far as quality goes, other than a hole that wasn't drilled, they seem to be of decent quality.

 

Unless the fairings are blocking airflow, I'm not sure how they would cause an issue. Try removing the fairings and see what happens. It's about as simple troubleshooting test as there is.
Another thing to check is to make sure that the vacuum lines are all hooked up correctly.
An easy one to forget is the one that goes on the bottom of the air box.

 

Actually hamlin, I believe you hit the nail on the head. I'm pretty sure I forgot to hook that hose up. I'll check it today when I go to the shop.
As far as the fairings go, I think he was just asking a followup on my installing them, not necessarily troubleshooting.

 

Cool. Hope it something that simple.

 

That is correct.
