GS1100G, fairing project
- Thread starter Buffalo Bill
- Start date
Yes, correct. Needless high current wire path, though connectors that develop resistance = melted harness.
Thanks!

Got all the struts finished

You have to design and build your own struts for these fairings.
My design came out really solid, feels good.
Next-headlight mount and windshield install.

Installed, not yet painted
Installed, not yet painted
Ok, got all the mechanical work done and did a test ride, up to 85mph.
Works great!
Has to be painted to match the bike, no adjustments to mention.

I love it! I like the low mounted turn signals - they don't clutter up the look of the fairing.
Thanks, for the signal lights it was an easy bracket to make, just a bent flat steel bar under the existing horn mounting bolts.
Did not have to buy new signal lights.
The wiring harness was long enough to stuff back into the headlight housing, I like that.

Holy Darmah, Batman that looks good.
A nice trade-off between full-on race stance and cafe racer.

Damn, that looks good. You have enough room for your hands at full steering lock?
+1, they suit it very well.

Right thanks good question. I'm going to cut out more room for my knuckles. That was an issue I tried to fix using many different angles and heights, but decided I'd just have to do some cutting after all. Will do a few more test rides to find any more issues for adjustment.
Thanks! Wish I could find an exact match to what's there; 1/8-1/16-1/8.
This bike is overdue for touch up and new clear coat, so I'm gonna add a wide racing stripe up the middle on the tailpiece, tank and fender, plus the fairing, in red or burgundy.
Might add some similar pinstripes on the fairing.
Somewhat inspired by the 83-84 Kawasaki GPz1100-750

Looks good Bill, I'll have to remember this thread whenever I get to my one piece full fairing. Are you going to weld all the ends or leave it with the screws holding them together?You have to design and build your own struts for these fairings.

Never mind, I looked back and saw that it's made of aluminum and steel.

Looks superb ........ given me an idea for a winter build
Time to budget in another bike

I was gonna epoxy the aluminum struts into the steel feet after I was sure I had the right lengths, but it's nice to be able to take it apart easy. Maybe I'll just silicone glue them, to absorb movement/vibration.
Got it painted, vintage super bike look

Ok, I like it. Finally got rid of it's frumpy olde 80s cruiser look, while keeping the original black with pinstipes.
No sawsall, No larva seat, No "Cafe" BS.

Nice! It blends right in. If it wasn't for the red and the windscreen, you could hardly tell a fairing was on it. Have you had it up to speed yet? If so, how's it handle?
