Title: $25.00 Ebay Chin Fairing - dial up beware
Post by: oramac on September 14, 2004, 03:59:19 PM
Okay, so it was $15.50 with $10.00 shipping.  But check out the end result.  This fairing was black, cracked, split on the right side, and one of the mounting holes was GONE.  I had to fabricate a new mounting hole, I repaired the cracks and the six inch long split, I painted it to match my bike, and what you see here is a $250.00 chin fairing for about $35.00 after repairs and paint.  Not too shabby   :cheers:

no sweat... i have a different style one that i picked up used that needs some work before i put it on.  it was cheap so i thought i might pick this one up too, but you wanted it more than me.  that's how auctions work :)
