Title: need opinion on fabricated headlight plate and chin fairing. PICS
Post by: devildog on April 18, 2009, 02:05:14 PM
FNG (F*&$ing NEW GUY) here who would like a some opinions on a few fabricated mods that I made. The first is a headlight plate that I plan on installing to replace the current one eyed monster look. I would use the lights in the aftermarket headlight and install them vertically in the plate (big light on top)

The second part to this post is your opinion on a chin fairing/ belly pan that I had made out of aluminum and fiberglass. Yes, it does scrape and yes I will raise it up and paint ti match the bike.

As I stated... FNG so I am still learning how to post PICS.

I think they look good. My bike has a similar headlight set up, kind of looks like a transformer.

Bought the bike for 1500 from a guy named Alex in Martinez, CA. He had bought it for his wife... need I go on. Anyways, he took really good care of it.
