I think it would be cool to mount the lights out on the sides of the forks, kind of like the turn signals are. Then make a small grill to fill in between the forks.

P.S. I can feel, for you on the children thing. Out of 10 children, the only ones interested in anything I do are the two Toolbabe, and I took in from Honduras, and one son-in-law. And for them, one just wants to be a carpenter, another wants to be a mechanic, and the son-in-law just wants to ride.

Yeah, Kids can't always figure them out. Good for you 10 kids, 2 adopted... good for you! I'm toying with the fairing idea.

Question for anyone on front forks. I took my forks apart today. full of sand, sand, water and black oil that smelled like rotten fish.
The seals and bushings were disintegrated around the stainless slider. the seal and bushings are fused to the  inside wall of the lower tube. I can't get them out without further damage. Do I take them to a machine shop? Do I throw them away and get a pair from e-bay? The ebay forks are not necessarily gauranteed to be any better. Looks like he rode it through a creek or something again and again. 1980 cb750c. I don't want to rebuild these then find out they are no good.

What about aftermarket new forks? know anyone selling rebuilt forks that have seen the inside and rebuilt?
