Awesome work!   Please tell me the front fender is gold?
In 1972 I had to make a choice...quit riding...or quit drinking.  God says it's safe to get back in the saddle now...at least I'm still alive...and feel more alive with the wind in my face!  Now riding "Helen Black"...1982  CB750SC.

Looks real nice Donald. I dig it! That fairing just looks perfect on there. It almost disappears!

Interesting story about that windscreen/fairing.
When I first got it ,the gap between the headlight and fairing was too large.
I was going to trim the fairing but it (fairing) was expensive and I did not want
to take a chance on cutting it wrong and ruining it. So I didn't.
Then one day I was putting bike in the garage after having it outside for some
photos and I almost dropped the bike.
The bike leaned over and hit the wall and broke the fairing off near its mount.
I was really upset. Then I thought if I just trimmed it and sanded it and drilled
new holes, it should not only be fixed but fit better than it previously had.
I bought a special drill bit (25º angle instead of 82º) from TAP Plastics for
drilling plastic (without cracking it), and it all worked out for the good!

I have been looking at those and reading the reviews, I am thinking of giving them a try later on down the road, what length/size did you use?
