12-15-08....New(er) upper fairing

Scored a complete upper fairing, including turn signals and headlight unit on Ebay for $20. It arrived today. There are NO cracks or broken mounts, but it does need refinishing. The headlight and turn signals are mint. I should be able to sell what I don't need for what I paid for all of it (note. sold headlight unit and covered all costs including other side fairing i purchased earlier). Good stuff and a distinct upgrade for parts that had been fixed/glued/bondo-ed.

Maybe the old fairing can be used as a basis for the RC45 replica fairing I wanted to do.

12-07-08....Repair, Adjustments

Disassembled the cluster because it was damaged in a previous fall. Turns out that the mounting bosses had been broken and repaired poorly, so I did them right and they should be good from now on (Lower housing costs $200 from Honda). The upper fairing stay seems to be tweaked a little, too, so I spent some time un-tweaking it. It's better now.
