The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have a Shoei FM2 fairing, but none of the hardware or windscreen right now. Should I try to get the parts and put it on when I have some extra money?


This isnt anything too urgent since apparently it wont fit if the bars are a little bent, I just wanted some opinions about it.


(PO lost the mounts and broke the windscreen when he dropped(not crashed) my 650. )

sorry for bad lighting.

I've heard from a couple of people here that those Shoei's can cause the front to wander at high speed. I'd pass.
 
Would have to see it at least mocked up on the bike, visuals are everything.
 
I actually dont know how to mount it, plus dont have the mounting hardware. I have been searching google for the last couple hours for a GS with this fairing and have had no luck so far.

I was hoping someone here would have some experience with them, and possibly has pics with it on theirs.:o


I also asked on facebook and the majority vote there is 'no, it looks fine without it' so I am leaning more to just keep it as a wall decoration.
 
No pics unfortunately but I've had a Shoei FM2 and 3 and a knock-off.I liked them allot,especially the hand protection.
Looking again you have some hardware there.You need the bar clamps off the round L bars and the fork things to go between the headlight and the ears.

My dad was really big on the hand protection part too, and I was in it for the windscreen.

so far the score is yes:2 No:3
 
you, sir, have a great point. Once I am able to secure a job the $30 or so shouldnt be much of an issue.

(actually Im not sure who here is a sir or a ma'am yet so sorry if I got it wrong)

Do you think you're wrong?
 
I dont, but at the same time my mind is pretty scrambled right now so I should probably get off for the night before I start posting about hamsters.
 
I'd mock it up as best I could before you spend money, you might not like how it looks and or it may not fit the way you would like for it to. Doct tape my friend duct tape hahah. Really try as mock up fit test and go from there. sachsaca, man or woman, with a name like that who knows.:rolleyes:
 
The good thing about that fairing is that it keeps your hands shielded.It is great in spring / fall riding.You may not have that situation down south.
 
I have the headlight-bracket ears for that fairing, they look just about identical to the ones shown on the Maier illustration posted. They're yours if you want to go to the end of this road.

You can bend up a sheet of Lexan yourself to make a windshield......
 
Well first of all looking at your Avatar and listening to quandrum over saying sir or ma'am, I will assume you are not originally from california. I am thinking military brat or victim of the economy..lol. I like that fairing think it would look good on these bikes. Makes me want to go look one up on the net.

Found this on google. Its a honda CB900F but its styling is close enough to a GS to visualize the look and I must say I like it. Thinking it might be in my future for the current project.

If he was a former military brat then he would know damn well to never call both prior and current enlisted a "Sir" haha. :dancing:

Do it! and you are right.
 
Looking at that kit, I am missing more than I originally thought. lol. I am still trying to get a hold of the PO because he told me he still has a box of 'spare parts' lying around somewhere. ;)

and no, I am from Cali born and raised here in Covina. Both parents are L.A. Co. Sheriffs and I just try to show respect when I can. :D

I have seen that picture of the Honda on almost every search. I was trying to find one a little more close up, I found a couple but most of them are with the newer fairings w/o the hand guards.

Thanks for all the replies, and it would seem like the 'yes's have it
