What bars are we talking, stock, clip-ons?? That makes a huge difference.


With clip-ons you could adapt say an R1 fairing (top half at least) or anything similar. For flat bars or raised bars, you would need a tall fairing for an older bike. Powerbronze used to sell those.

Airtech have a few options

thanks tezer,
i like the gs500 model fairing,
and powerbronze has some possibles.
i might try and fit an old honda interceptor fairing.
just looking for ideas at the mo.
in truth i think i will have to get another buffalo and go all out in it and keep the one i have resonably stock.
cheers mark

MArk,

That sounds like a plan. When you say "all out" how far out are you thinking? TR replica frame, USD forks and wide 17" wheels or how a GT would have been customized back in the day?

hey john they must use the world supply of fiberglass to make those.
it reminds me of cirarno debergerack (you know "big nose")

and tezer i am now leaning more to an updated "sheene tribute", (ie all the good new stuff but in his colors)

cheers mark.
