But I'm almost failing to see where the differences are - which of course is the point, I guess....
I'm still looking at the screens that you sent btw... I think I like the 2small but would want just the tophalf (sort of a 2small blade, rather than the full bikini...
But thanks.... I'll go away and think!
That's nice - I'll bling you up for that!

I thought youd like that pic/idea
The [2small] flyscreen minus the fibreglass would end up looking sort of like the Buell S1 but without the instrument bulge, I now get where you are headed on this:niceone:

This sounds intriguing. Do you have a 'catalogue' or photos on what you can generally produce Dave?

Not a current one:spudwhat: ,but I can send pix of most of what Ive done over the past 15 years or so.:msn-wink: BTW, Im not trying to boast,but Ive got over 2000 tank,seat sidecover,fairing molds for mostly european ,brit & american bikes; Guzzi, Ducati,Laverda,Morini,Triumph ,Norton ,Buell ,BMW etc, a smattering of older stuff for bears , cams & bucket racers & some older jap bikes:niceone:

Yeah - like a flyscreen in clear but raked like the S1 but smooth like the 2small...
Really nice.... That is what I'd buy... especially if it fit to the headlight bracket or to the headlight... ...
If it had a little flick up (dbl bbl???) on the top of the screen to deflect (sort of more modern racerish) then it would look the Canines Testicles.

Can do flick ups on some screens but not on a compound curve like the one we are proposing:doh:

Yeah I suspected you did. I wonder what a Buell XB9R fairing would look like on MY bike :).
I think Ill come and see you next time im in CHCH. Youre not going to the Nelson street races in Feb are you?

Dont have an XB9R fairing:slap: [do have Buell S1,2,3 stuff] BUT a first model Aprillia RS250 top half is very close to that shape:yes: I can send a pic?
May be going to the street races, a bit early to tell yet

If thats what I saw in the thread the other day that was a ZX12 streetfighter, then I have seen it. Yeah, wasnt a fan of the headlight arrangement but youre right, quite similar.
This is what I might be doing soon to my bike (see pic). Couple of small diameter lamps (projector type), add a bellypan from some damaged bike maybe...wouldnt mind a trick tail section (like in photo) but that would require cutting the subframe :).
Anyway....sorry about the hijack.

Yeah, I didnt like the headlite arrangement either!!! but the customer is always right!! Have got some bellypan molds & could do a tail section, BUT would need the bike here in CHCH

Yeah, I can appreciate that...
If the CBTA course is coming back I wont have this bike for much longer anyway (see sig). I have a set of Cefiro headlights from trademe on its way so at least I can have a play with those.
Ill def keep you in mind if I 'fighter' another bike though..
