I have decided against getting the above fairing. If and when the company makes it easier to order, I may think about it again.

I bought new color matched luggage instead.

Good looking bags. Post a pic of them after you get them mounted. Also one of the back of your bike with the bags. That's probably the view I'll see the most  of.   :biggrin:  Dave
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

The FJ is getting back in shape. The rear end is complete, including the hugger fender trimming that I followed FJmonkey's pattern. The footpeg brackets got powder coated. The new HID headlight is in. My old HID kit was a single bulb, with no high beam. I had an issue with my key falling out while riding and almost losing my keys. Installed the RPM tubular key switch.

The Silver Bullet is once again alive. 90% complete and the Carbon Fiber Hydro Dipped parts came out incredible. Still have to do some fiber glass repair and then repaint the Lockhart lower cowling. I did paint the saddle bag panels Silky white and used OEM Red for the stripe.
