    I was Bored, So i made a Headlight Fairing

    I ride my bike almost everyday and living on the coast it can get quite windy here, so i got an idea to make a headlight fairing for my gsx250, from an old open face helmet, here are the results.




    Dont mind the droopy blinker its not done up.

    I'm still yet to finish it with some paint and rubber edging and i would like to ad a visor on it too, but i think for half a days work it makes the bike look different and it cost me $0.

    I'll try and finish it tomorrow and put a pic up.

    Cheers Josh

    I like your inginuity and the fact that you recycled an old helmet. The added bonus is that the headlight will survive a crash with no head injuries. Maybe you can start a cottage industry and ship worldwide?

        Looks like one of the best uses I've ever seen for an open face helmet.

                  That's fantastic.

                  I'm with Pete, When are you adding the visor?

                      what size did you use? i found them to be cheaper than buying a fairing

                          Nice work mate, glad you stuck with it and got it running correctly so you could muck around with things like this!

                            What else, for a headlight?

                            Brilliant.
