Ever have a beer in the garge on a night you can't sleep and say WTF I think I an fit this or do something?

well I mocked it up, took it for a spin, really stable and very aerodynamic( was mentally prepared for it to shake or bufet or feel like a big heavy rudder..

got the primer drying on it now so I can paint it to match
 
actually those are FZR headlights, the rockets were a shade too big...

so I removed the stockers, then attached the subframe and stock FZR lights....

I'll take photos when I reassemble it, that was the mock up to see if it was a good enough idea to paint..

used two of my 4 fixing kit mounting brackets and a piece of aluminim subframe..

solid as a rock...

the FZR bottom subframe bolted on it, as an added bonus, I coudl switch back to stock headlight buckets in a few minutes if If I had to


I did have to cut some pieces off the FZR metal frame for the cowl, the parts that woudl normally mount to the neck..

I thought about rigging up a complicated mount, then said F-that, keep it simple stupid, mount it like a stock windshield

$40.00 on craigslist... cowl, subframe, and two workign lights with bulbs even!!!

pretty sure its for a FZR600
 
Nice!!!! Cant wait to see the paint! So no issues with excess wind on your chest?



mutt
 
nope, it actually puts the blast right at my helmet, But I could open my full face shield and ride comfortably....


it definitly spreads the wind more so I don't get hit on my shoudlers anymore like I did with teh fly screen..

if I switched to a double bubble or a touring screen that fits it woudl put the blast over the top..



I really wasn't expecting it to work.. bought it on a whim, thought it might fit.. turns out it not only fit with a little work, it works.. might be nice at the drag strip, have a little bit of bubble to duck below....






I'm embarrased how messy my garage is right now....
 
fairring

Regulator, that fairring looks really nice can't wait untill you post with it all painted.
Nice job
 
that's an 89-91 and 93 on FZR600 upper fairing. (they changed to the boomerang headlight for two years)

I had an 89 FZR600
 
cool, maybe I can get a headlight cover and a double bubble for it then...

having some problems with the paint...not an exact match ( rattle can)


we will see how it looks when I'm all done..

not going to have it proffessionally done until I get the whole bike done.
