Bit bored, the FatBob is pretty done by now - handles and accelerates very nicely. I went in a few steps from a stock 96 to where I am now. Looking back, a few notes. First of all, going in steps is a lot more expensive than doing it all in one go, but more fun. Then there is the law of diminishing returns: different tires and a front stabilizer worked wonders and changing the suspension was more like the icing on the cake. Likewise, moving to 103 with a 555 cam was pretty much 90% of also changing the heads, throttle body and going to a 777 cam. Got some good and helpful advice from Fuelmoto along the way - like needing to look at my throttle body and drilling out the buttplug of the V&H propipe - very grateful for that.

Now thinking of a fairing like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321633368349...84.m1555.l2649
but wondering whether and how much I'd need to cut it back with my 10 inch risers. Anybody tried before?

 

**** that's one ugly fairing,

 

I'd go with the Dougz Fatbob Fairing instead of buying the one on e-bay. Dougz has a great reputation and makes a really good product that is priced just a bit more that the e-bay fairing. E-bay fairing doesn't even show any photos of brackets/attachment system. Also I have never heard of the e-bay fairing whereas Dougz products get great reviews. http://www.dougz.com/windscreen-fair...p?productid=20

 

old thread, I know. but my new fairing is on now. Its a trimmed down version of the ebay one I mentioned below, made by Phil Birch in Holland.
