Had the fairings off for a bit, finally started ordering replacement parts so I should get them on the bike next week. Here is my before set.

 

looks good man, everyone always runs those cheesy little fairings, but i think it would be sweet if someone cut the stock one in a cool way so that you could use factory headlight and instruments, just my .02

 

Im actually going to go sans fairing. I like the look of just a headlight up front. If it bothers the tar out of me Ill look into changing it later, but Ive been riding it like this for about a month and the wind isnt too bad even at 100+ mph so I think Ill be ok. Ill update as I get more parts on.

OH! and I openly acknowledge the MASSIVE chicken strips on this thing. I live in Eastern NC now, and there is nothing anywhere nearby that even resembles a curve. I plan on taking it to the mountains as soon as I can, but in the meantime, if anyone is near the Greenville, NC area and actually knows a road with a slight bend in it, lemme know.

 

whats a sans fairing? im kinda new. got pics of one?

 

I'm gonna go sans explanation on that one

 

I usually run sans tact, but I'm gonna hold back in this case..

 

Ok so the journey continues. Got back from playing soldier and now the work can truly begin... so far Ive managed to switch to a clear integrated tail light.... yeah... thats it... I am now in the process of installing my new headlight and front turn signals, (on my way to the auto-parts store right now) I ordered my ram-mount so I can use my smart phone as my speedometer, but it wont be here for at least 7 days, and that will be the last piece that Im just dying to get rid of, once I get rid of the antlers on the front that hold the clock and mirrors, I can put on my bar end mirrors.... YAY! I am going to do a tail fenderectomy this weekend, as soon as I figure out what exactly I want to do with the trunk lock.... I dont think I have a drill bit big enough to make it accessible through the tag so I'm probably going to have to locate the tag just under the lock.... I think.... hmmm..... that one Im still contemplating.... ah well... Ill post pics as soon as I can. Thanks for all the help everyone.

 

Here you go with a pic of seat lock- The second is with a 4" led strip under the tail light and is my tag light.

 

Work continues but here are the most up to date pics. If theyre formatted wrong I apologize.
