RE: power port and Samurider Road Comet Fairing 1

well, I couldn't wait until the weekend.

so here's some photos of the Garmin GPS cradle and wire bundle with that removable pigtail.
also some photos of the how it all goes together.

doesn't look neat at all when hooked up, due to the exposed wire bundle, but it's ok for going on a trip.  after all when you get there you can just unhook the power, hook up the blank rtv'd pigtail, and take the Garmin, the cradle and wire bundle, and the short Ram arm with into the hotel.  all that leaves is a very hard to spot power pigtail near the steering stem on the RHS of the bike, and the ramball mount on the handle bars.

Rdprdp01,
I am hoping that even that little fairing, and it does look a bit smaller than yours does, is enough to stave off the wind fatigue.  Since I just finished it tonight and the rain is settling in for awhile, I'll let you know how that Road Comet Faring 1 does when I can get it out on the freeway again.

By the way, Mr. Takashi did what I consider a great job on that Road Comet Fairing.  To my eye, it looks fabulous.  all the parts were there to add it to the bike.  package came from Japan and it was well padded and wrapped, so it came out of the box undamaged.  The gloss black matches the tank exactly and the pin strip looks exactly like the one on the tank in both form and color.  there were photo instructions in english and japanese.  the only thing I didn't understand when I opened the box I figured out immediately when I went to lower the horns.  Then I knew what those 4 flat pieces of steel were used for.  other than that it was all pretty straight forward.  took me about 2 hours, but I was also adding that power pigtail so it would likely take others less time if all they were doing was installing the fairing.  So a shout out to Samurider for a great looking fairing that didn't have me creating new and interesting words when I was installing it.
