Default fairing, cams, intiminators...
So added a switchblade fairing, Andrews T-26 gear drive cams, and installed the intiminators. Looks good. Have yet to paint the fairing. The cams are great. The T-26 match up well with my riding style. They have a feeling of deceptive quickness. The intiminators are OK. The stiffened up the front quite a bit. I think I was expecting them to be smoother over small bumps though. Big hit response is very good. I just did a short ride on them to test em out. The second picture is outside, with the ricor shock installed. After I posted this thread, I got a call that my upper shock mounts arrived and I installed them. The Ohlins have smaller mounting points, so I had cut the original upper mounts. Needed to get stock ones again to mount the Ricor shocks.

Great looking bike! Why do you call it a switch blade fairing...isn't that a nightrod fairing?

Originally the fairing was on the SE wideglide back in 01-02. That bike is referred to as the switchblade.

Funny I run the same fairing on my lowrider....I loved the SE WG's, but never knew they called it the switchblade.

Your bike looks great!
