This fairing is small and pretty... It does suit the bike colours well! Looks somewhat colour co-ordinated!

:-) That does look very good. Was it hard to fit?

It was not too bad and still not finished, The frame mounts on the headstock with two bolts, my ntv had a mounting for the old fairing but only one bolt, i use this one and secured the bottom with large hose clips,the old fairing had a exhaust mounting i have made a cross brace that bolts just behind the indicators and bolts onto the bike where the front tank mounting bolt fits I will make two mounts that hold the fairing at the indicators and further back and attach each side to the frame with rivnuts to support it fully, the only thinf i`m not sure of is if the charging system(new eletrex reg/rec) is up to two headlights
The other thing i have done is moved the clocks and ingnition switch to the inside of the fairing, this has made the steering quite a bit lighter and it has more feel( but I have lost at least 20kf of fiberglass off of the front also) Ray

You've done a decent job of that, it looks pretty good.

As well as doing the starter motor and the exhaust, I have raised the nose of the fairing a little bit, the headlight beam was too close and the high beam was also not high enough, Much better now I may wander past the friendly local mot place and see if they are around the correct beam height.
Thanks for the comments, now if I could get the rest of the bike up to that standard......
Cheers Ray
