My bike, shes alive!!!!!!!!
I go to pick her up mid May.
enter stage 2 of project 150mph; streamlining
So I plan to add a Hyabusa fairing to it. I want it to be street legal, so it will be with all the signals and headlight.
I have the fairing stay bracket, and head light. I plan on buying a Non oem fairing kit form ebay. I have contacted a seller and he is willing to sell me only the parts I need. I'll be using a Gen 1 fairing, all things being equal the parts are cheaper, I can pay for half of the ancillary stuff just with that decision alone versus using the Gen 2.
My questions for those riding them; (keep in mind my bike is a Suzxuki VX800, it is quite a bit narrower and i do plan on adding various mounts, but some things wont be as obvious before the fabrication begins...like the following)
It appears the ram air intake tube(s) help proved a certain amount of lateral support. In your opinion could the fairing be set up with out those? I would like to block off those holes completely, unless some one can come up with a benefit of keeping them open.
As the engine is a "half- a`busa" (ok a bit more), like I said its an 800cc Vtwin. I want to block off the side cut outs. Again, any reason why I should keep them open. My thoughts are, I am going to have to bring in the sides a bit anyways, and I dont think itll hurt the aerodynamics to close them up. I am afraid of there being too much space (which can be a good thing as i can get down into the space and get out of the wind. I am of small stature, 5'9" and 140#, so I should be able to hide behind the fairing pretty easily).
All the little bits that go between the fairing and the frame, that create the "dash" area. do they add any stability, and should I forego them, or try and incorporate them?
Lastly;
the chin spoiler, how many parts make that up?
Cheers
