    Not sure, but I think it's made of paper mache.

      I think he was trying to replicate the Goose' bike in Mad Max:



      Current:
      Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha :eek:)

      Past:
      VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
      And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....

              If he is not smart enough to post pictures right-side-up, I am not curious enough to look any farther.

                It doesn't look any better when you rotate the images.

                  I can feel the heat from the engine on my legs when riding with that fairing on a hot summer day.
