tough call, id say get one meant for an r1, theyre a close fit and require 1 extra hole to be drilled and are cheaper than vtr fairings.

A whole lotta help you guys are.. jeez. Most people don't use forums for their social hour, but strictly use them for the vast technical knowledge thats pooled in one spot. ****, my first post was asking how much VTR wheels are worth. R1 fairings? Why would someone want to put that poser bikes fairing on a superchicken?? That would be like putting Nikes on a fat kid..

The VTR fairing is really simple so it should bolt up pretty easy. The only problem I see is in stock form the headlight is attached to the fairing plastic, and I'm not sure if the Sharkskinz has the mounting points for it or not. I would imagine a quick phone call to Sharkskinz would answer your question.. (772) 388-9621 Good luck, and post up if you figure it out.

Some people, not you obviously, understand how societal interaction works.

Want part of my knowledge, say Hi, how are you today? Then ask your question. At least that's what most people do.

Would you just blow into a room, blurt out your question, and expect the people with answer to just blurt them back out?

Noob, you're a douche sometimes. One of those, why can't we help our fellow man. Why not empower him to become better. Yeah, some of us are ********. Some people learn from it, some don't.

The old proverb goes, "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat forever." Or something close to that.

NooB as you may recall your inquiry was much different than Calvin34's first post. To refresh your memory:

Sharkskinz sell a headlight bracket for the fairing, too cold in Wyo to work on the plastics. Just got the bike and the custom paint is coming off the right fairing, the 1 piece fairing looks better to me. My fairing don't seem to be crack so if I put a 1 piece on I should have extra 3 piece fairing in the spring. Is shrkskinz the only one making a 1 piece?

That's right, get a red bike, so that you realize just how much faster your yellow is by comparison.

You're the one from California and I heard they have a yellow bike parade in the Montrose area of Houston where you are the grand marshal.

The previous few posts have been brought to you as demonstration of what thread jacking actually is NooB.

its winter for most of us, which means thread jacking in gonna happen, and so is lots of drinking of 96 proof dark spiced rum and coke zero and then thread jacking, as in this case. i think the homosectionals ride red bikes for this one reason, when the anoos (anus) starts to blood and it seeps through the tight boy shorts the red riders wear it wont be as visible on the red bike. oh and i was watching tv on tuesday and came across a parade being led by a red superhawk and a miata, i quickly changed the channel but we can all assume what parade i saw. looked like the damn village people in the first 4 rows.

For some reason I assume you're from Austin, so you know way too much about the Houston gay scene.. you been there before? Are you hiding something from us ? Maybe you could shed some light on wtf a grand marshal is LOL? Oh, and why don't you post another video on thread jacking, that last one was very informative.

I'd say Austin has a lot more of a gay scene than Houston and it's not so ghetto.

I heard the same thing

I also heard that the skarkskins are a pretty good fit on the Hawk with minimal customizing to get them to fit. With fairings I always say you get what you pay for...
