Roadstergal's bike.

I don't really like the upper fairing on its own. Not very svelte in my opinion. It is too tall and too scrunched up from the nose, as if someone punhed it in the face.

The F looks better in black, though.

thats the one!
I don't really like the fairing on the F either, but I do really like that. its kinda streetfighter, and still sporty at the same time.

imagine it with clip ons, and the fairing lowered and pushed back alittle. I think that could be kinda cool... hmmmm..... the gears are turning... ideas ideas ideas

I don't think you could move that fairing around much from where it is. It's already pushed up pretty close to the guages and you'd be risking some serious clearance issues, too.

I have some Srinath bars and with that setup you could not move the fairing or your levers would hit the fairing at full lock.

i just picked up a cowl myself for pretty cheap that im going to run on my 89. Picking up the side pieces so i can slap those on at a later date.  I just have to figure out how to without the stock brackets from the f.
