Installed my emgo viper fairing.

I used a front master cylinder from a 2000 ZX6r with a remote reservoir, the stock master cylinder was right in the way.
I used the brackets included with the emgo fairing that attach to the headlight bolts and also used some brackets on the upper fork tube clamp to make braces that run to the 2nd windshield bolts on either side.
The fairing was all to flimsy just using the 2 included brackets.
I'll post some pictures of the final brace location and design when I get them finished, waiting in my brother to get back into town so I can use his welder.
Anyway, pretty happy with it so far.

I've not got that far yet, still on the fence.
The easy thing to do would be to mount them to the fairing, however I don't want to have to unplug them to take the fairing off.
The key for me is to make the fairing simple to remove, I want 4 bolts tops to remove and install.
I'll work on turn signal location when I get the braces finalized.

I'm using an aftermarket front master cylinder for dual disc front brakes that has a flat cap held on by 2 screws. It's probably about 1" shorter in height than the stock master. Do you think this fairing would work?

I doubt the flat top master cylinder will work.
I'll post pictures of the clearance later tonight.

The included brackets attach to the headlight mounting bolts.
It's not enough, I've made some braces but i need to come up with a more permanent solution.
