I've been reading tons and tons through DMF and stumbled across this guy

Anybody know what chin fairing that is?  Or was it a home made mod?  (I've looked through that thread and didn't see it.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
I'm not a big fan of the chin fairings that I can find at the normal Monster shop sites, but this one has great lines/character.
I'd hate to rip off the owners style, but I'm pretty sure we aren't in the same neighborhood...

Thanks.

It has been discussed before - I think we concluded it's a custom job.

Maybe it's part of a full fairing from another bike...

That's doodoo.
Wait...
That fairing is beautiful... it's doo-doo that I can't have it.
I am by no means a fiberglass/plastic artist...

Does anyone else get bugged by gaps that aren't uniform/parallel and interupted visual lines that don't flow from front-to-back?

Seems so often that the basic lines established by the Duc frame get turned into a pile of pick-up-stix with added bits and pieces.  Not saying that Ducati does such a great job themselves a lot of the time (I'm still struggling with the aesthetic of the mixed trellis/cast frame of the later ducs).

For me, this is one of those cases where the details blow what might otherwise be an OK concept.  boo

Yeah, I know, all a personal problem.

Doesn't bug me nearly as much as mis-matched red paint ... we all have crosses to bear!  laughingdp

I have a cross to bear as well - that fairing is blocking the view of a beautiful motor.

Yup.. 

I think pjfa knew of it.   A Spanish registered bike, if my memory serves me correct (which it probably doesnt  laughingdp).

I love how the upper mount is Tek screwed into the (not)oilcooler shroud.
I love the uneven panel gap upper edge/frame.
But most of all what I love about it is this:
....that fairing is blocking the view of a beautiful motor.

I like this mid fairing thing, the one on the Bulgari 1100Evo would be much preferred though...
