    That looks better than mine.  I can remove the fairing without removing the brackets on the fork stems, but your system looks a little easier to use than mine.

    Mate, I'm a dinosaur.
    Anyway, can understand KYB they are cool, and as you say, can make things fit. keep us in the loop , later, when you stream them on a bike, interested to know. Think there on the front of my TT600 Belgarda, or my ex Guzzi.  

    Memphis fairing was a Klockworks from Kuryakin.

    G'day, do you remember when the easy fix for something not working was to tap it with a hammer, or to undo and redo it up?

    Fixed that annoying oil leak from the primary. 
    Turned out it was the 1/8" plug. I must have forgot to use thread tape. 
    Duh !

    There was a thread a while back about primary case leaks but I cant find it.
    Turns out the issue was the plug. 
    In my defence I had a couple of refreshing beverages under my belt.

    I have been thinking about making a screen for my bike wombat.
    I am working on a tight budget so I'm gonna make it out of 1/4 " steel plate. It probably won't have the same aesthetic appeal as yours but it should keep the wind out.
    What do you reckon?

    G'day,
    try Tubi or Old Movies, both apps and web sites. Maybe Pumpkinfm.com, has old English radio comedies and some American. Not as stuck up as Netflix. You could search for 'rape revenge' on youtube and watch 'I Spit on Your Grave". The second half is a bit gruesome. There is another film, I can't remember the name, but the victim demonstrates  some very novel uses for spoons.

    I gave my bike a bit of a clean and lowered the suspension from 18 back to 4 (I have lost some weight), then went for a beachy, took a couple pics and realized how smooth the rear was now

    A few of us used to alternate with each other leading the group on a ride.
    One of the guys used his cruise control, we got jack of that pretty quick.
