Title: Front Upper Fairing?
Post by: TheFableTheFury on February 01, 2014, 06:21:52 PM
I have a 2000 GS.
I'm doing a cafe build. Thinking about getting an upper fairing.
Any suggestions?

A better term would be bikini fairing or headlight cowl?
Anyone purchased any of the fairings from Feked?

The cafe headlight cowl in particular...

Yeah I was looking at that one and like it well enough... but I'm building a cafe bike (chopping frame, building banana seat, etc) and I found a true cafe cowl from Feked... catch is... its kinda pricey by comparison. By the time you buy the shield and ship it over the pond from Britain its over $300... and you still have to paint it. http://www.feked.com/images/detailed/IMG_3721-600.jpg
