TOPIC:

after getting the R1 front end mounted and some shakedown time,(and a discussion with an OHP about old bikes with modern suspension.i got caught tipping up out of a corner at 89 mph )
i set some time aside (yeah right i just put everyone else's stuff off and used working on my own bike as therapy )and made new brackets to get the Z1R fairing mounted.
i scribed out brackets (after making cardboard templates)on some 1/4 inch thick aluminum,cut them out with the port-a-band and filed and sanded them to the scribe lines.

i was able to use the fork clamps i had already made to hold my headlight brackets,to hold the new brackets that relocated the headlight and gave me a place to bolt the upper fairing mounts.
my old headlight mount had the key switch mount in it.so i made a new key switch mount that bolted to the bolts that hold my bar mounts on under the upper triple clamp. .

i still want to lower my headlight a quarter of an inch to get the headlight sitting exactly where i want it in the opening.
but i am very pleased with how it all worked out.

They look perfect. Now make sure to send yourself a hefty bill for the therapy and go spend that money on whatever ...

Oh and be sure to make another appointment

Real Nice Leon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that is how to mount a fairing. Nice. and Solid.

I used a slipstreamer universal kit ---- what a pain.



....

Thanks for the kind words.
I was already to far down the "one off"rabbit hole to turn back now

Leon

Fine work as always.
BTW, how do you get those bikes down? Elevator?
Steve

Was just gonna ask the same thing.

Travis Pastrana would get them down

i used a beam across two rafters and an electric hoist to get them up.
i have since acquired a walk behind electric forklift.
so,
that will be how i get them down

Definitely post a video
