Join the Community now! We no longer sell the headset. Sorry for the inconvenience. I cant find one. You can go online or to a local dealership to find new bodywork.
The fairings can cover the front, sides, and exhaust pipe to your motorcycle which will aid in the aerodynamics of the bike and give it a nice streamlined look! Other motorcycle bodywork may require extra time and cutting or drilling in order to get them ready for installation. This is usually done by using a rachet or screwdriver depending on what the bolt set up is like.
Once you have completed the process of tightening the fasteners or screws from the bodywork into the frame of the motorcycle, you are then ready to go for a ride! To pass the bolt through the frame I had to first drill out 2 existing holes behind the neck tube. After drilling the holes I used a paint pen to cover the exposed steel to prevent rust. I then passed the bolt through the frame. As the bolt went in I installed the securing bolts, one on each side of the frame.
I then held the padded plate against the neck of the frame and secured it using the bolts and nylock nuts, leaving them a little loose so that I could straighten everything once the fairing was in place. The second bracket in the kit holds the lower arms of the fairing and utilises another existing hole as a mounting point. The hole was being used to hold part of the bikes electrical equipment so I simply relocated that part using another hole lower down on the frame.
The fairing bracket is designed to utilise a smaller headlight that comes with the kit. After removing the headlight ring and bulb it can be installed using the supplied alloy spacers.
Now comes the exciting part, fitting the fairing! There are 6 points on the fairing where it is fastened to the brackets. I began at the top and worked my way down. This is a handmade part and you may find some holes are not perfectly aligned. Leaving things loose helps to get everything lined up.
With the fairing on the bike I was then able to position things by eye and tighten all of my fasteners. I was also able to position the headlight at the correct depth and angle before installing the perspex windscreen. Again due to the nature of handmade parts the fairing took a little convincing to line up.
With the fairing in place, you now have to get all your wiring and cabling sorted out. If you have a stock loom you will most likely need to trim a few things back as you can no longer use the headlight bucket as a hidey hole for all that spaghetti. My main task here was installing an idiot light cluster because I had previously mounted them into my old headlight bucket and extending the headlight wires.
Lengthening the wires was one option, but I already had an extension cable, which you can buy from most automotive electrical stores. I also took this opportunity to install a set of new, smaller LED indicators. During this stage, it may be best to leave the windscreen off, but I chose to work around it.
With the wiring, everything pretty much ran along the same route as before, but my clutch cable, brake line and accelerator cables needed work. This is something you definitely want to avoid! The first step is getting the handlebars mounted correctly.
