New front fairing

[Ridem32_imp]

check this out! Found this from a member on the UK forum. Great price. About $200.00 shipped!
Nice
see item # go to ebay of UK. Might show up on usa ebay. I have it on my ebay watch list
this is my buddy's bike in the UK. He said it mounted to the headlight bolt just like the comet. He said he had to trim it to fit around blinkers I think he said. But it comes gloss black
does look good!

Good find! Looks very similar to the road comets at a fraction of the price! Let us know how you like it!

looks good and thanks for the info!

Well done! Going to see if I can find one...

Okay, so I found it on eBay. It says it goes on the headlight bolts, just like you described but also that, "This does not come with additional fitting brackets, as each bike would require different fittings, however this fairing has provision for an additional bracket/support at the lower front of the fairing." Do you know what your friend had to do to further secure the fairing? Also, what did he use to trim it? Some sort of Dremel tool? I'd hate to go in for a trim and end up cracking the whole thing!

Thanks!

This appears http://www.ebay.com/itm/Venom-MK-II-Cafe...89&vxp=mtr to be the same unit, for about $80 shipped.

Nice find DG!! Heck for $80 bucks that's CHEAP!

The seller on eBay has an actual store that is 3 miles from my house. Didn't even know it was there. Have to go check it out.

Where is that Dac?

That would be cool. Nice to get some feedback from someone who has had hands on. Reasonable quality, looks like a royal pain to fit to our bike, etc.

I'd be worried about it not being secure enough if there's no lower center mount hole for the horn bolt to steady things.

Here is another option http://www.lockhartphillipsusa.com/UNIVERSAL-CAFE-FAIRING.html for $49.95, that is a bit more traditional in look.

They getting cheaper & cheaper in price! If we keep looking we might find some for .99 cents lol
VW if no hole in bottom for horn bracket. Just drill a hole buy a small L bracket at hardware store and bam it's on and tight

It's in west Hilliard near the Franklin County fairgrounds, just west of 270.

The seller appears to be Classic Cycle Parts, 4623 Northwest Parkway
Hilliard, OH.

Winnar! That's well within my "risk it" budget.

That's OK if there's enough material at the bottom to accommodate a hole. If its too thin or narrow, no good.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

That's true VW. Good point.

I will check and see if the Dollar Store can order us some!

 

[Ridem32_imp]

That would be great! We have a dollar store rite down the road I do all my shopping there! LOL. But for real the prices are getting great on the front cowl fairings!

Fantastic find. I'm going to give that one a shot. Hopefully, no major modifications are needed. If so, I might just send it back and go with the aluminum cowl. But for $50, it's worth at least trying it out. I'll report back with photos! DG, thank you sir!

Edit: Order placed directly from Lockhart Phillips. Chaparral Motorsports has it for $10 more even though they show the MSRP at $49.95 (weird). So, $49.95 + $7.99 shipping, no tax, total = $57.94. Stay tuned!

I noticed that direct from Lockhart was the cheaper route. Anxiously awaiting your report. Hopefully a great one!
