just about got the old Spec II ready to shoot. repairs are done, double fiberglass fabric overlays on seams where panels meet up (infused with epoxy and redrilled), and a complete set of stainless steel button head allen screws w/ stainless washers + "bib" washers (plumbing washer rubber, but harder compound) to go between metal washers and surface of fairing. all the hardware has been blasted and powder coated,
and in the process of a trial fitting to bike to make sure everything lines up before i finish her out. real happy so far, good bit of work, but looks to be well worth it. more pics to follow.

Should paint the rest of your bike like that to match. Would be pretty awesome  :D

yeah, it looks like i used the leftovers from some bizzare easter egg project- but, i'll paint her blue to match the bike.
i'm going to shoot a "flag blue" (real dark blue) gelcoat that i picked up from a Marine coatings company, it can be buffed out to a high gloss, should provide maximum protection (it's a 2 part catalytic coating), and can always be painted over at later date

Looks like the fairing that werase643 had laying around his lair a few years ago. Good work,man. If I hadn't had spent so much sourcing the F stuff I probably would've picked it up.
