    Got any of that blue and super duper red paint left?


    I'd do it now, a fairing, even a little one like that will extend your comfortable riding a month or so in the fall.

      Aren't you going to need clip-ons with that fairing?

        The bike is beautifully done, you are a craftsman.

        Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

          It's got enough of a cut out that I might be able to get by with clubmans. The stock bars almost clear, surprisingly.

            Yeah, plenty of paint left over to color match it to the rest, but I'll need to come up with a mount for it. The one that came with it was designed for the Moto Guzzi it was originally on. It looks like it will fit nicely, but there's definitely some welding that'll need to be done to make it work.
