Putting aside the possibility that I will be considered a wannabe, I've just ordered a handlebar fairing to complete the stuff I need for my front end.
The look I'm going to end up with will be along the lines of some of the dynas on the TV "biker soap" Sons of Anarchy which, if you have watched any of it, you will realise has little to do with motorcycles. Yes, the series are about the exploits of a California-based MC but apart from using their bikes to go from one murder to another and the odd glimpse of an old Harley in the club-house it may just as well be about a bunch of mafiosa or any other rebel gang.
Anyway, nonsense apart, the look of the bikes with the high t-bars is just what I've been heading for. The fairing is just another step on that route. I've ordered the fairing now as I will need to get custom brackets made up to fit it and I may as well get that done when the yokes are being fabricated.
That just means that I'll need to delay the carb conversion until I have a bit more spare cash. Though I may be able to afford it sooner as all I need is an air cleaner and a suitable manifold. If I keep the EFI going for this summer I may look at fitting the V&H pipes anyway. I'm not too sure if I'll be able to run them with the stock air cleaner or if I will have to look out for a cleaner which will switch between the EFI unit and the carb with the use of an adapter.
