            He ordered it. From these guys, the manufacturers.



            The black windscreen comes black, and it's tinted allowing you to see through it when in a full tuck.

            Post up some orange pics! Did you paint the fender too?

                Looks good! The fairing painted up really nicely.

                Where'd you find the plastic fender? It looks really good, not to mention saves a bit of unsprung weight. Is there a build in fork brace in it? If there isn't I suggest you remove the one from the stock fender and add it to the new one. Can't hurt at all.

                    Look into adding a fork brace. Either an aftermarket one, if you can find / afford one, or gutting the one from the stock fender. I know it can be done, and your forks will handle better, being tied together down there.

                          Nice looking cafe

                          I really like the long seat and tail, it pulls the bike together

                          If you're wobbling, you have some problem greater than a missing brace

                              it does it about 70 if im in a hard corner or hit a bump just right...its just a loose feeling...it didnt do it before i put the fairing on it
