    oh you know, you get to hear lots of pearl jam songs, but he doesn't cut the wind as much as block your view

        It didn't.....I played with the brackets and couldn't get the left side (looking at it from the front of the bike) to drop down...so now I"m in the proccess of having new brackets made here at work. Unfortunetly, the Wire EDM machine is busy right now with a rush job (and my new video camera mount for the bike) so I won't get the fairing mounts until monday or tuesday. Once I have those should be smooth sailin....if they work out as good as I think they will i'll see if I got enough material and make a spare set....you are on a 650G also right lol!!!!

                FINALLY got it INSTALLED

                Thanks to Duaneage, my fairing is now installed. It's mounted a bit up and left as the end doesn't quite clear the brake rez. I'm going to shave some of the fairing off to fit nice. You would never notice well (maybe ya'll would), but I notice. Thanks to everyone who helped me spend my summer waiting for, purchasing and aiding install it. I feel like both balance and handling has improved, weird i know, but true. The new superbike bars help too ! (previously using daytonas). I'm really happy with it.
                thanks again.

                Here are some photos.

                  Looks good!

                  How is it hitting the master cylinder?
                  You could maybe get a generic Magura master...they are a nice unit, (I use one on my drag bike)
                  The resevoir is shorter and it might work better....

                  Only thing is, they don't have a mirror mount and you'ld have to get bar end mirrors....

                    I just sent mellowmoodz his replacement RR and helped Josh with his master cylinder rebuild and fairing mount. I have one of the magura aftermarket MCs but we decided the Suzuki was better due to it's metal construction
