2 yrs ago I was gathering part, ideas, and reading on here the type of obstacales that others were running into with their builds so that I could avoid them on mine. :)
So I have to say, thanks to the pioneers.
This is a fun build for me, I don't get to work on my oun stuff enough.

Here we go, headlight mounted. Need to redo the faring mount that goes on the side arms, ended up too high.

Here's the right bracket, same as left except with slot for headlight adjustment. Still need to do some lightening on it but will do that at the same time as the upper tree.

i like the fact that you are using the z1r front fender.it matches the radius of the front tire better than i had expected it would .

here are a couple pics of modded z1r's with cut down stock type front fenders.









just some food for thought, :P

I like that cut down similar to an ltd length on the front fender. The rad. on the fender is a little big, thinking about using a beasly fiberglass fender for the smaller wheel rad., I may still do that and cut it down like that one. Thanks for the pics leon!
