You can always get it running with time or money.
Alright, I was able to get the new fairings installed with only a little drama. Here they are:
The quality was pretty good - they are definitely much thinner than the stock fairings, and not as flexible. I suspect they are not ABS plastic. Still, for the price of one piece of new OEM fairing I received the entire set, so I can't complain too much. The pieces were prepainted something that looks pretty close to Honda black, which was the base paint coat of the original fairings.
Tail on and test fitting the nose:
Growing pile of old fairings:
Nose in place - this one actually has places to attach the headlight to, ooooh, fancy! The black smoked windscreen came with the kit, so on it went.
Building up the sides:
Most everything in place:
Ta da!
I also replaced the rear brake pads, and the fronts are next. The rebuilt fuel pump also has to go back on. New mirrors and a hydraulic switch to let the rear brake trigger the brake light are en route, and that should get the bike pretty safe on the street. Thanks to the new fairings I actually have places to mount stock style turn signals on the front of the bike, and may go with that. I'm having trouble finding aftermarket signals that don't scream "squid" or "I dropped my bike so now I'm a stunter", so suggestions are appreciated.
