anyone have a good site showing wheel pants, gear legs and the intersection fairings. I seem to be search challenged to zero in on the correct stuff.

got the gear legs fairings figured out easy enough. Now getting ready to do the wheel pants followed by the lower intersection fairings. Pics would be great

My advice is to order your intersection fairings from Fairings-Etc. Bob does a great job and it will save you a ton of work.

Thought about that, but I had Vans uppers and they fit very well. Then I called Fairings, ETC and found lead time for Lower fairings was one month.

So bought some more clay yesterday and will start building my own tomorrow.

Brian send me a private message with your e-mail address and I will forward some pictures of my wheel pant's all painted. I have one that shows the nose and right wheel fairly well. I don't have a way to post pictures to this site. It is called lack of operator skill :bang: My main wheel pants are have the lower intersections fairings seperated with the front and rear section of the main wheel pants. Makes it easier to remove and with luck you can check air and inflate tires with only the front part of the fairing removed. My telephone number is 320/253-8620.
