    Here's a couple of fische shots I was researching:

    This one shows the clamp I was talking about holding the Splitter in-place.



    This one is what Glen explained as the cover on the splitter and what's underneath it.

            Completed job pics will work. I know it's not the first thing most of us think of (to set up pics beforehand).

            After action pics still work!

                  What do you guys think of the bike with the 1000S fairing? Yea or nay?

                    Personally, I like the looks of the naked bike but I also know the need for a windscreen at higher speeds.

                      I tend to do agree also.

                        Thumbs up with the S fairing.
                        Look/perform even better with some lower handelbars. imho.

                          I like the windshield. Thanks for reviving this thread. Good info on the forks!

                          Plus, your bike looks great!

                            Man, that's pretty. Did you modify the fairing to fit the train light?

                              It fits the light fairly well, and would probably fit close to perfect if I tweaked the mounting a bit. I didn't have to modify anything, but maybe someone else did before I got it.

                                After riding it with the 1000S fairing I've decided to keep it on the bike. I'm undecided on the looks, but do appreciate the extra wind protection.
