I'm speechless, yet, OK with that.......

Cooling - yes, the ducts are crucial.

Wow! Impressed - that's pretty immaculate under there Dean
I was disappointed, actually a bit sick when I lifted mine....A few years of English road salt and Normandy agricultural muck ugh!.....doesn't exactly demonstrate a lot of love care and attention does it.
So. Good shout. I found a couple of 1TX fairings on ebay
This one in the US which has been. 'Ahem' modified to suit drag racing

And this one in the UK that has no air ducts, inner linings, mounting bracket, indicator lenses or headlamp Mine for a special price of £90... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202852530147
need to buy a screen which is £45. £20 mounting frame, £20 headlamp, probably buy new indicator lens's as mine won't fit, modify my existing scoops or 3D print some new ones

It's certainly a lot smaller and sportier....

Wow, mine was never that clean. Let me know if you are in the neighborhood, Dean, and I'll give you a key to the hangar.

Ha ha, the tank lifts off and turns around so easily (I just set it on a blanket over the subframe rails) that I regularly take it off to give everything a quick clean, seems a shame not to   :biggrin:

My bike is clean, but I think the classic purists would say it has "patina".....little chips and scratches all over the place (a couple from when our eldest as a toddler decided to "help me" to "fix" the bike when I wasn't around....with a hammer  :lol:) but nothing major .....the bodywork is totally unrestored, un-repainted, 30 year old, 80,000 mile, original Yamaha....so definitely not perfect !!

I'll see if my ex-FJRacer friends have any spare fairings/mounts and let you know (or if you're a member of UK FJOC, give them a call, they might have some old stuff in store you could get your hands on).

Just as clean  but it is getting a rebuild, so it should be.

An original standard screen arrived from Edinburgh this morning only £7 on eBay (cheers Iain)
Don't feel the urge to cut the fairing down so much....relieved!
