Its off a SP1, though I think that the SP2 is the same, so it should fit your new fairing.

I hope that you are gonna post loads of piccies of the project in progress

Only problem is im fitting a blade fairing not vtr sp1/2 unless they fit and your not telling me something

Zakalwe · Post by **Zakalwe** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 10:52 pm

Woops....very soz.....for some reason I had it in my head that you had a SP fairing

marlbororman · Post by **marlbororman** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 10:55 pm

for one minute there you had me thinking an sp screen would fit a blade fairing

..... Watch this space though, in next 12 to 15 hours something special will be happening!!!

Don't forget PICTURES... and lots of 'em

Well, Here i go.............

Ive cable tied all panels together loosly for now, and cabletied them up to the bike to get an idea just how its going to fit and early experimentations are looking promising, heres a few photos just for now.

One thing for definate, i will need to alter or replace the vtr front fairing bracket as it is to low for the 2 mounting pionts on the blade top fairing

Also The bracket as it is will foul the Headlight when in situ. (nothing that cant be sorted though or it wouldnt be called a project)

But looking at it overall from an early stage, i think the finished bike should look quite good

Just looking again at pics, i reckon it needs to be quite a bit lower at front still,and slightly higher at rear, but only early days yet, and still got quite a bit of bracket making to do!!!!

Looks good, are you going to be able to turn the bars much, the levers look close to the faring at the moment, if it comes down any more at the front you will have even less space.
