Looking for input on headlight fairings

[charlie kilo]

Finished my 1979 cb750 but was looking for some input on headlight fairing/ cowls
Any thoughts? I was going to do stainless stell over the existing black substructure. possibly with a grill type detail

wow man personally i would leave her as she sits! looks wicked

I gotta agree with Joe on this! I like it, normally I tend to be against such things but it really ties in the top of your front end visually.
I'd add a little lexan flyscreen and rock it the way it is!

Thanks for the input
Do you think if I carried the same shape but mimicked a 29 Ford Grill it would look odd- mixing era's (pic attached)

That's a '32 Ford grill, but I think I could picture it if you're talking about something like that if it were subtly inspired by it and not too in-your-face-I'm-a-radiator-shell.

Umm.....to each his one I guess....

 

[JRK5892]

i think that would look bad... that is my opinion

 

[charlie kilo]

after more thought I agree that it should stay as is. Knowing when to stop is a skill I haven't yet mastered
Once again thanks for the input

i dig it the way it is.
if you ad a fairing we will join as a group and toilet paper your house!

If you put on a little lexan fly screen say 3" tall on the fairing it might help.

The part I am trying to fix is where the bottom of the fairing meets the chrome headlight ring. The pic shows a little bit of what I mean. It sits down below and back about 2". I think maybe like you say a lexan fairing would, work since when I attach it the space between the headlight ring will be gone and it will be flush. Or possibly just build it up with some fibreglass. Blew the headgasket so I have got the winter to figure it out (without breaking the $1500 budget of course)
