could you please post a front view as well?
thanks
Just a further note and heads-up on your rendering in post #11: at extreme right and left turn positions of the handlebar (which is standard GS850G), my hands get very close to the cutout part of the fairing. You should allow for this, and maybe move your fairing position slightly forward. On the other hand, your fairing could be narrower at the front, so may not have that issue.
Don't seem to find a direct frontal photo, but hope this one helps?
EDIT: Just found a better frontal view:

Bonehead
try a rendering with the fairing ending at or just past the suzuki emblem on the tank and see how it looks. check out the older moto guzzis (as i am sure thats what youre going after) and their fairings. right now, the fairing is too long in either rendering.

Originally posted by 2BRacing View PostThe fairing on my bike is roughly the same shape, but the rear end is more toward the front. The rear ends are curved downwards, to allow the fitting of leg shrouds (covers), which I have never fitted.
I had a couple of Honda 900F'S a while back with this fairing (Hondaline Fairing). It was a completely different experience riding with the fairing. Very quiet, smooth and less fatigue with it on.
I sold a GS 850G last year.......had I thought of doing what you did, I would have kept. Again, nice work!

Vmass, yes, the old Guzzi's I remember are the Le Mans series, but they sport a short fairing;
I think the longer ones where just aftermarket one's like this:
Has anyone here put a fairing on their A-model BSA ? I have this Avon Lynx to go on my BSA (here in a mock-up state, trying to determine the exact position of the fairing)) The of-the-shelve mounts I've see all attach to/around the headstock with U-shaped thingies. Can't be don...
I know, the easyest way might be to just bolt on/adapt a readily available one, but I am on a trip of streamlining something for this very bike model, possibly going around with the old red wool threads, to check for eddies and vortices....
(by the way, the fishbowl is great too...)
and this is, more or less, what I am try on achieving (fairing related).
Thanks

This calls for a brief fotostory;
this is what I did to my battle scarred Gamma fairing....

If you see the red wrapped iron wire coil on the background and relate it to the wire-frame on the foreground, you can gauge, with a fair grade of approximation, my "nutterance"....
More to come, if enough interest is generated, also cause a nite shift is on the call....GS1000G '81
