    Rifle Fairing

    Well, I haven't had this on my bike for a few years. It was black like the bike back then. So, paint to match and installed for the cool mornings up North.

      Looks good. REAL good! Great choice, IMO. Minimalist yet functional and attractive. Now I know what I've got to start searching for my 1100G.

      Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.

      '74 GT750 Resto-mod I've owned since '79
      '83 GS1100E (The best E I've ever enjoyed, Joe Nardy's former bike)

          I've got one!

          It's a Rifle Superbike. It was on my 1978 GS 750, and now it's on my 1979 GS 1000. It's nice and light, yet gives plenty of coverage on the highway. Makes these GSes great sport tourers.

                  Thanks for the link. I guess I really shouldn't be as surprised as I am with the price. Everything else has, at least, doubled since the late 70's. Guess its only to be expected that fairings would as well. Still, sure looks nice.

                      Looks good. I'm thinking about a Rifle for my GS650G. It's a bit pricey but will look much better than the Slipstreamer SR90 I just junked.

                          I bought mine on e-bay used for about $60.00 I think. Rifle still stocks all the parts for them. I replaced the screen a few years back. I also made lower struts from 3/8 stainless steel tubing to stiffen it up a bit. They run from the bottom lip of the fairing and attach to the forks where the reflectors mount. It also breaks down nicely for painting, the dash and light insert come off leaving just the outside shell to color match if you like.
