Actually wrenching today... Well, not so much wrenching, as just making a mess of things ;D
Randy took off the stock fairing stay & headlight, & installed a lightweight fairing stay.
I fitted a couple dzus fastener clips, and with the help of JB Weld & a pop-rivet tool Cyclone gave me ( [thumbsup] ), I think I'm FINALLY ready to get the track body work on. [moto]

Man that fairing stay is really light! Can't wait to see it with the race body on!!
Looks great scott!!
Thanks! Shouldn't be toooo long before I have photos ;D
Hopefully I'll get the bodywork on before Randy's here to witness my "handiwork" :P

This was a fun (read: huge pain-in-the-ass) project, & I really learned a lot.
Huge thanks to Randy McCarter for expertise & patience [thumbsup]

Thanks ;D
I've had those things off so long I don't miss them. That, & they're a PITA when taking the seat cowl off & on :P
Looks cool - good job [thumbsup]
Are those the stock rear sets or after-market... looks like Sato maybe?
