Hangout on a goldwing site a little bit, they love them rabid transits. I liked them when I first saw them, don't like them anymore. The one this rstnick dude has, that's actually a nice fairing

Which one, the Hannigan, or the Rickman fairing on my blue C2?

Have the Hannigan waiting for a future fit.
Here's a Hannigan fairing on a CB900F

The Rickman fairing I found on Craigslist.
Was fitted to a GS1000, and the brackets needed a little trimming to fit the smaller KZ650 frame.
No storage like the Hannigan and other fairings have, just thin fiberglass.

The Rickman looks more stream lined.

Fantastic looking bike. The fairing looks like it belongs.

very nice. Almost looks like it could have been a stock option. The windscreen part looks perfect in height as well.

As for me, I tried to fit a small headlight fairing (Emgo I believe?) to my bike last year but my cruiser handlebars wouldn't clear it.
