Starting to build a bikini fairing. They fit most anything. For now, they will have a fiberglass windscreen. It is small (I'll have the first windscreen laid up in the morning, just sprayed gelcoat on the mold). Will have acrylic in the coming weeks. Asking $100 + the ride.

Re: Cafe Fairings

Thanks, Drey. I wanted something a little sportier than the Emgos. I think it turned out quite well.
 
Re: Cafe Fairings

Will the windscreens be removable/interchangeable (i.e. if I buy one now, will I be able to swap on an acrylic later?)

Are you going to provide any brackets or is it going to be strictly DIY?

Screens will be interchangable (will be done with two identical molds). Brackets will be DIY. I used flat stock that can be picket up at Lowes, Tractor Supply, Home Depot, etc, and they attach at the pinch bolts on the trees.

Will have some pics of the windscreen up this evening. Getting it trimmed down to size and mounted to the fairing (Will mount with a few SS buttonheads).
 
Re: Cafe Fairings

Here's the jist of the screen. Thinking about cutting it a little shorter at the top so it sticks out about 2.5" less.

Re: Cafe Fairings

I'd be interested in one of these fairings. What size is the headlight opening?
 
Re: Cafe Fairings

Opening is 7". Can be drum sanded out to make the opening accommodate a larger bucket though.
 
Re: Cafe Fairings

Shortening it may look more appealing. Is the prototype at a point after measurements to play with the shape some more? That way you know where you started and can see what you can change for the better or just to try something out.

I have molds made of the fairing, have sold around a dozen of them at this point. The windscreen I can still play with.
 
Re: Cafe Fairings -Updated with new windscreen.

Have a few more of these ready to ship.

Great looking wind screen. Might have to save up some pennies to order one.
 
Re: Cafe Fairings -Updated with new windscreen.

Thank you. I'll have one if you decide you want one.
 
$100 + the ride. Little cheaper than your Emgo's and Viper's, but better looking
