Yeah the sure are in a different spot. When I ordered the fairings I didn't realize that they were pre-drilled. I called Delkevic to see if they could send me fairings that are not pre-drilled and was told that all of their fairings come like that. So instead of packing them back up, shipping them out, ordering from a different company, waiting 2 more weeks or so for them to arrive and risk improper fitment I just decided to stick with these.

Ya, looks awesome. You are lucky to have talented friends.

cut the pipe down for sure... not the midpipe though... cutting the slip-on would look better (IMO).

and maybe a small honda wing on the tank?

I was actually surprised at how good the fairings actually are. The fitment is great and I recommend them to anyone looking for new fairings.

Yeah I am thinking the Honda wings on the tank and maybe the HONDA on the bottom of the fairings too. I have to have my buddy make the decals so it will be a black/silver fade to match my helmet.

Bike looks good. Good price for the paint job, about what I would charge. Your painter needs to wear a respirator though... unless he wants isocyanate poisoning sorry I never go in the booth without one on so it's a pet peeve of mine.

Awesome looking bike! I agree with everyone else, cut that pipe a little. Just seems to protrude. I love your helmet with it too, that's what sold me.

What kind of tire hugger is that? I'm looking to the cheapest one I can find that's unpainted. (Want to paint it matte black with a rattle can so it'll blend with the tire, it'll only be used to protect the undertail)

Paint looks sick man. I love the detail with the air duct grills. I agree with everyone else. I'd cut the pipe in half and it would look much better!

Thanks everyone. I do agree that the pipe is a little long, it is what come on the bike when I bought it and just haven't had much free time to do anything about it.

Zero - I have no idea what kind of hugger it is. That also came with the bike when I bought it.
