Show us yer Fairing ?

[the civil one]

The R100GS is deffo not know for its Good Fairings,
Some of you must have come up with your own answers to this
wee conumdrum ?

Mine aint pretty , but its better that the Std offering ..

 

[Paul Rochdale]

I bought a similar shaped one from Bob Porecha many years ago and I fitted it to my 100/7. Not as stylish as yours but it kept the wind off me for eight or so years.

So how did you make it? Makralon? Heated with a hot air gun over a barrel?

I am currently talking to two Fiberglass Manufacture companies ,
one in the USA , One in Slovakia . I cant for the Life of me figure
why someone hasnt come up with a Decent "Enduro" style Fairing for
the R100GS .
The Basis of my FAiring is going to be something along the Lines of the
Desierto FAiring for the 1150 GS , except using the Std GS lamp.
One guy has already come up with a Dam good replacement fairing for the
F650 using that as a template .
I have a similar thread running over on Adv rider , and similar to here no responces..

 

[Padmei]

givi make a perfectly acceptable one

 

[the civil one]

After a bit of Digging the Givi A700 universal.
Which is fine if you are not a fashionista !..
But Hardly "Enduro" style

 

[Paul Rochdale]

You FAILED again to answer my questions.

I didnt .

Its some form of polycarbonate or other , we use this as a tempory replacement windows.
The primary function is to keep the rain out whilst replacement glass is found.

If you rein in yer horses , i am going to do my best to get something that actually suits the bike .

Heres a couple for you Phil
The first is a K100Rs and looks interesting and I wouldn't mind giving it a try myself.
The second is simply a K75C (I think) screen attached to an early Para fly screen.

 

[Flipfly]

Ooh I like the rs fairing

 

[The Other PaulG]

Ooh I like the rs fairing

Agreed. I feel bad because I definitely shouldn't... but I do. In terms of looks, it works a lot better than it has any right to.

Sorry, but I just hoped for an explanation, which wasn't forthcoming. With my R100RS-PD I replaced the standard screen with a SECDEM version which is still not right (for me). There is an American screen for the GS which I think looks right but is expensive.

Do these peeps
http://parabellum.com/
do anything to suit?

 

[Paul Rochdale]

There are some interesting alternatives here.

The Parabellum Sport Shield looks more like what I'm after but doesn't look quite as attractive as Civil One's. So if he didn't bend it using a hot air gun, it's simply bent using the brackets to hold the curvature?

My R80 g/s had the same as in Electric Monks second picture when I bought it. It was fairly effective until it lost an argument with the road.

 

[richie moore]

I have just made a new fairing for the 80g/s 100gs, it uses a 7.5 inch light, quad optic or bi oscar, and a proper dash board so you can replace the whole headlamp ass and idiot lights. it had to be done.

 

[Canuck]

Dont tell them all yet until my two are tucked away!!!

Right first of all get rid of all fikin gs fairins they keep the wind offi to some extent n tis a smoother ride but the noise is wank the best part of them is keepin the front end on the tarmac with high mud guard that acts like a sail, basically they are designed to ride off road and about 60mph on road so rid it and slow down babe

stevie babe and long time love air head
