    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.

        Finally fixed the left fork fluid leak and now the bike is ready for a season of riding.

                    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!

                                    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.

                                            Look/perform even better with some lower handelbars. imho.

                                                    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.
