Have to agree with ZM.
That's lookin' good.
It has a stealth Messerschmidt look.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

Hey Doug, I miss your presence here, good to see you drop in.

It's an incredible shape I reckon.
This is a fairing I got from Germany about two years ago. I hadn't wanted to put it on as I'd not finished blasting around the outback.
But now it's time to put it on, and I still haven't finished with the outback.
The front gaurd may be off the same German bike, a replacement for my roo busted original. The tank I have may also be from the same bike. As well as the seat. And the side covers.
All original paint in excellent condition except for packaging shortfalls. Oh well.
I paid about $85 for the fairing, and $117 postage. Nuts, huh?

$85!!! You scored well Jeff.
I have been checking in everyday, but have not had much to contribute since my Beemer has gone.
I have, however, acquired a 48 year old pile of junk (Honda :oops: ) that I have not touched yet.
I might introduce it to this bunch when I delve into the ungodly mess.
After all - bikes is bikes.

Gidday Fellas,

I know Jeff, just hang it back up in the rafters or when I am up that way again I will grab it.

Also a reasonable excuse for a run to pick it up, have a cuppa, strap it down on the K and head back home.

ya bike is looking good mate!
Cheers, Grant

Getting there.
Got my headers at work for the removal of the rear balance pipe spigots. One of the stainless pipe welders at work wants to do it for me, and polish them. :idea: Sounds like a plan.

Edit, those fork sliders look grubby.

The bike won't know itself!

Hey Jeff, can that welder fix some cracked pannier frames for me? I can post and pay in beer!

Are they chrome tube Steve? Either he or I can do it for you. Brazing for chrome tube, tig or mig for stainless.

Edit, I'll check your thread when I get home from work Steve. Been a few years now since my last slider paint job.
