S type fairing on 83 R100
Vlado,
I have a couple of questions about your set-up.
Is the fairing anchored to the bike at the ears holding the headlight? On mine, the ignition key is on the left headlight ear. I don't know where it is on your /7. Is it the same? If it is the same , do you have any trouble reaching in and inserting the key with the fairing in place?
Mine has a separate clock (left) and voltmeter (right) of the central tach/speedo unit. These are mounted on "ears" of their own, attached to the top of the forks. From your pics, it looks like there is sufficient room for these to fit in there also. I was also thinking that the fairing could also attach to those ears, maybe as additional bracing.
My headlight lens is 7 and 5/8 inches, and with the chrome ring, diameter is about 8 and 1/4 or 3/8 inches. Is that about what you had?
Any pictures you could post about the internal connections would be appreciated.
From the outside, that looks very good on your ride. Also, I like the straight glossy black without pinstripes look of your bike. Nice!
Bob
