    Anyone have one of these fairings?

    Check out the link. Sporty looking and cheap, does anyone have one
    of these on their bike. I'd like to see a picture of it or hear some opinions
    on it. Brian

    I had one for awhile on my previous bike, can't say I was impressed with the fit and finish of it. After screwing around with it for a few weeks, it was very functional, just not very pretty, that was about 5 years ago, maybe they have improved them since then.

      Brian, I have that exact fairing on my 1000g - and I have to say that I love the looks - it's completely useless as a fairing, unless you tuck down behind it - but it looks great. It was easy to mount and it gets compliments all the time ... 8)

          anyone try this on a 80 gs750e or something similar?? Stock headlamp is square, and would need to be converted to a round, but I think It would be worth it. Any input??

            I have that fairing on my Yamarat. Geneerally that's as much fairing as I like - keeps the wind off your torso so you don't have to pull yourself forward. Works fine for that, cheap. Installs to headlight bolts. Screws and washers rust in about 20 minutes. Good for the rat, but a little cheesy for a clean bike.

              Thanks for the input guys. I was curious if it will fit mine as well. I believe I have the nine inch headlight on 85 gs700e? It says its for a seven inch headlight. Can anyone tell me what size my headlight is considered?
              I measured it and it came up around eight inches the way I measured it.
              It is the stock headlight, not modded in anyway. Thanks, Brian

                  JC Whitney fairing

                  Do you guys jnow if the JC whitney fairing discussed in this thread will fit w/o modification on an 80 GS850G. Mine has a 7" round headlight and OEM turnsignals mounted to the headlight frame. By the looks of it I think that it would, JC Whitney however, cautions against it.

                  Thanks

                    Maier makes a similar one that fits square headlights. It looks like the ones that used to come on the early '80s GPZ bikes.

                      The square headlight one seems to be about $100 more than the same round headlight one.
