Most likely a crazy question.. but I have a Hoppe Quadzilla that I took off for the first time for repair (long story).. I like the look of the bike w/o the fairing, so figure I might take it off intermittently for a local run...
Has anyone found a good way to hang one of these puppies w/o scratching? I don't really have room to store this anywhere, and figure my daughter does not want to sleep on the couch so I can keep it on her bed...
why don't you sleep on the couch and let it have your bed? take it off and stand it in the corner. go on your ride and put it back on when you get home.

I rotate between my windshield and my fairing on my Road King, and when one comes off - I keep it in a spare room in the house covered up. I think keeping it in the garage somehow, something is going to scratch it - probably by me.
If you decide to store it in the garage, remember how they did in the old west - "Hang 'em high" , secure it, and cover it up.
Things happen, you know.
Nice. Is the fairing bolted on stand or somehow hanging?
There are two pieces of copper pipe, spaced the same as the bolts on the forks.
So the fairing hangs on the stand and I lock it, just like I do on the bike.
I have another one for my windshield on the other side of the garage.
I hang mine on a rope loop from the ceiling. Mine is on a pully as I have a high garage ceiling, but a regular rope loop works great. I'll post a photo tomorrow. Loop hooks around brackets and locks into the mounting slots.
I place the rope loop around the brackets and into the slots and then just lift to hang it on the hook. It is out of the way.
