Bought her a new Bikini

Got a new bikini fairing for the KZ. Had a Shoei FM-2 faring installed. But always liked the Mad Max look. Its not installed properly at the moment. Need to get a more compact M/C for it to fit. Here is a link of some of the exhaust and cosmetic changes the bike has gone through after the restoration was completed.

Which do you think looks better, naked, Shoei FM-2 or new bikini Phillips-Lockhart fairing? I have to admit, I like naked. But the wind is a pain.

Solid bike.

I like the simple one, without hand guards by a little bit.....hard call.....both have their good points.

I might look into one, after looking at it on your bike, and really liking it.

Take that baffle out of Kerker and live man ........ :silly:

i agree with the above statement

Not Shoei...

For lower bars the FM3 or FM5 fits better but those are REALLY hard to find

Damn that just looks purdy!

The bikini is a much cleaner look, very nice Joe

I've got one of the Emgo style and don't like it.
Seemed to cause a lot of wind buffeting around my shoulder's
and my helmet would hit the screen when tucking down behind it.

Also made a extra set of mount's for it.

Thanks for your opinion guys. I'm sure it will look better once I can push the top further back. I had decided to get bikini fairing in order to make the bike look more cafe. Can't say if it does Won't go any further than that. I am keeping my Shoei in case I plan a long trip or get tired of this one.

@4TheKZ1000, I agree. They sound great with an open Kerker. But I remember when I was running a medium competition baffle on my '74 20 years ago. Use to hurt my ears after a 2 hour ride. I admit, I'm a wimp when it comes to that.

@zukdave, Looks good Dave. That's a great idea how you added the extra support. I will have to fabricate something like it.

Joe the mount's are just some 1/4" rod with flat washer's welded on..
I think I'm gonna cut the back flat and make a wall clock out of mine
for the shop.

That nice warm wind must be a pain in florida. :sick:

LOL! Peter read my mind. I can't say much being in Atlanta, but it's still a bit chilly.
