It rides very nice, actually puts the wind at or about my helmet face shield. The lower parts of the fairing directs some wind off the legs a bit. It is stable and solid as can be. It should, I worked a long time on fitting it just right.

Here's some updated pics with all the trim pieces around the headlight (used rubber u-channel, the trim lock on the windcreen and the wellnuts securing it. I also painted the inside with SEM brand flat trim paint. I had buffed through the paint in one area and fixed it. Ouch!

Couple of questions..
where did you get your white gauge faces that include the gas gauge? RE: Look from the beginning of the thread I made them on my computer and then had them printed on vinyl. The gas gauge I painted it myself
where did you get the red signal light lenses? RE: eBay, just search for them
tks for the reply. I don't have the skills to paint the gauge.well..and have it readable when I'm done. lol

I chose to paint the gas gauge due to the contours of the metal face. I think a vinyl face would have bubbles in it. I can have a set of faces made in just about any color.

I could include a paint mask for the Fuel gauge if you choose to paint it.

Thanks for the tip, the pics show for me with that google app. I will not use Photobucket ever again, total ripoff.
