Ok newbie just getting started but only want the front upper fairing on my 85 k100RS , has anyone ever modified the "wings" i will call them to be a little shorter like the Levallois fairing??

Svlwolf are you thinking of making it a fixed fairing or using the nose like the cockpit screen or cowling on the naked models IE  fixed to the headlight and binnacle ?

welcome aboard svl

yes some of us have cut the fairings length back a bit so not so much protection around the knees area ....could that be more like getting rid of the interference to the knees trying to get back into a good riding position and constantly poking the knee caps or catching them at least ...hurts as well

but that fairing looks to be raised a fair bit in height to fit the higher bars ?

the tree (metal frame ) that supports the fairing would need to be modified  to suit ...perhaps they have used a rt tree instead of an rs tree to gain the height ?

the rs fairing does sit a fair bit lower than all the rest by about 3-4 inches .

have a similar thought in mind for a future project



cheers

Thanks for the input, not sure but the gray bike has an aftermarket fairing on it, but dont want to spend that cash


Also am wanting to move my front fender (mud guard) up about a couple of inches, how can I accomplish that with std forks


Charlie 99 what were you thinking??

How handy are you svlwolf?

Check out Scheffer's post.
He has pretty much re modeled his fairing.
