    That does look great. I saw fairing a lot like that on ebay. I wanted to get it for my Seca but that blasted 8 inch headlight got in the way. I love that huge light but it makes finding a fairing really hard.

    It looked cool without the fairing, but the fairing makes a HUGE difference when you are going over 20mph, which is pretty much all the time.
    I just picked up the bike a few weeks ago and have been riding it as much as possible despite the chilly weather.

    What's up with that Hamburglar avatar I have?

    I paid more for the bumpers on that car than I did for the bike. :)
