    Hi All.
    Well it's time to get the fairing attached to the bike for the upcoming riding season. (im tired of eating bugs for lunch)
    Now here is the thing. The XJ750RH was never designed to have a frame mounted fairing and so does not have the lugs on the part of the frame where the tripple tree goes (yolk?) to mount it.
    It is no big deal to weld a flange and fittings to the frame but I seem to be lacking any details as to exactly what the mounting flange is suposed to look like.
    I can make something up no problem but would like to duplicate the factory flanges as close as possible.
    If anyone has a frame from an FJ 600 or an XJ that had the factory flanges on it, I would love to get a couple of good pictures of it.

    Thank you for your help.

    Peter.

    The fairing frame is attached to a bracket on the front of the headstock(on a 1989 XJ600), on the 650 it has a mounting point in the same place but has bolt holes in the front and i think on the 750 it has a small fitting on the front of the headstock and would have plenty of room to mount another bracket.

    I will try and get a couple of pictures so you can see.
