With or without fairings?

With or without fairings? Pictures dial up users are warned.

Before



After currently...




And here is the stupid thermostat that was boiling the water in the tank. The temp doesn't even get past the first notch now even if I let it idol for a long time. It was the thermostat that I originally started taking off the fairings for and I was wondering what everyone else thinks?


Here is my sisters rental. They took her other one in a repossession kinda way an had to make it up to her when we started getting mad. She got this one and the cheapest price that charge too.

And here is a future VFR owner. My nephew showing off his little league outfit telling me that his dad is getting him a motorcycle and we can go riding together. He is such a trooper.

 

OK now I see just fine ... I say fairings but that just me ....

 

How is that?

 

I have to vote for with fairings unless you relocate the gauges and put a round headlamp on.

 

I agree, naked bikes almost always win, but in this case it looks kinda weird with everything kinda hanging out there.

 

I will try it a while. But I have some welding to do, because the mounts are broken. Later I might put them back on.

 

I put them back on. It seems more natural. Although I did reweld the broken mounts together again. I took the fairings off because they rattled and shook around a bit. After the welding I put them back on they don't shake at all. It seems better and I like them with the fairings. Now if I could just figure out what to do about that old head light look? Any ideas?
