    Maier Fairing

    Slapped my Maier fairing on and rode with it for the first time and I gotta say it really makes a difference in deflecting the wind off my chest at highway speeds. The wind still hits the top of my helmet but doesn't seem any stronger than without the fairing.


    The Maier fairing came with mounting hardware but I made some of my own with 1 1/2 aluminum flat stock.

    That fairing looks good. Kind of reminds me of the GPZ550 fairing.

      The square-ish fairing kinda clashes with the L look, but overall, it's not that bad.
      The paint job matches nicely.

      You might want to consider removing that pouch from the forks, though.
      A LOT of potentially cooling air is being deflected away from the engine.

          Couldn't find a more of a round fairing that I liked and wanted to stay away from the cafe look and tank, carbs, side covers, and fairing is SEM brand with SprayMax 2k clear

            That's what I have on my Honda. I scored a couple on eBay not knowing they still make them. I agree about them looking like the GPz fairing, and I wanted something similar to the CB1100F fairing without spending all the money on what it would have taken to convert it.

                Front calipers and rotors are original

                  The rotors are mounted on the wrong side of the wheel, compare the direction of the slots to the disc in your rear wheel ..
