Installed my emgo viper fairing. was created by MadShad
All and all it fit pretty well.
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.

The bike didn't come with any and
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 also looking at that style of fairing for my 77' KZ1000A too as well as the Venom by Emgo. Emgo says the fairing is for 7" headlights. My KZ has the stock headlight and bucket/ring assembly. Measure the assembly across and measures 7 5/8". Is the headlight opening in the fairing at least this measurement so that the headlight assembly on my KZ will pass thru ?

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?

The chrome headlight ring will NOT pass through, it will fit around the headlight glass only.
I doubt the flat top master cylinder will work.

I'll post pictures of the clearance later tonight.

Are you able to picture how the brackets attach the fairing to the headlight or bike ?

The 2 side screws on the fairing shown in the 1st. picture. Where to they attach to ?

With my Super bike or Daytona bars, mine will not fit my KZ1000a with stock turn signal stalks and front master cylinder. Just too much interference and the plastic cowling of the fairing needs all kinds of cutting/ modding.

I'll get some good pictures tomorrow.
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.

Thanks so much for the pictures :) Would it possible to use the stock turn signal stems that mount on the headlight fork ears ? I'm assuming you would have to drill holes on the sides of the fairing ?
