Received the necessary parts yesterday, finally. Took a break from studying and put the forks back on the bike. The difference is instantly noticeable: It's so much smoother with the new bearings. Also raised the back of the fairing a bit. On one hand it looks better, it's nicely in line with the bottom of the tank. On the other hand: I can only do this by putting the fairing on top of the fairing frame, that'll be visible. I can live with that, but worse is that I'll have to raise the clip ons even further up than on this photo. I'm not so sure I can live with that. It'll lessen the 'sportiness' of the bike and I don't think it'll look very good.
hmmm.
Dump the Fairing :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think I will. I just want those clip-ons lower.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIf you do have to raise the bars a little, you could also try to raise the rear a bit to compensate and keep that sporty look. Tough choice here as it will change the bike's overall balance.

Just my 2 cents.
Keep the great work up !
Keep the fairing. Lower it. Slam the front and rear suspension. And use the small seat in the earlier pictures.
BeantwoordenVerwijdereni agree with chalopy!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthe fairing is great but it would look better if you would chop it a bit.
I agree that would be best, but it's impossible. The fender/wheel will hit it going over bumps and I can't cut out a section at the bottom cause the headlight is already all the way at the bottom in the middle. So impossible unfortunately.
