LTD 1/4 fairing was created by toadson
I've been toying with the idea of adding a small 1/4 fairing on my bike, and was wondering if the LTD's ever came with one stock. It seems like a lot of the bikes that came with fairings have a square headlight, whereas mine is round. I'm just looking for something small, as I don't want a huge windshield or anything like that. As far as finding fairings, I'm kind of clueless as where to search. I know there are a lot of reproductions, but they are too expensive for my taste. It would be nice to find an original if possible, but finding one is the problem.

If you can find a good used Shoei fairing this might work for you.(I think FM-1 and FM-2 are the numbers)

I doubt it would fit, but the 1977 kz400-A1 Deluxe came with a small fairing too.

Thanks for all the replies! All of the fairings you've linked are what I am looking for. Is the one 531blackbanshee listed called the Viper? As much as I like the Maier one, I don't know if I could spend the money for it. If there were only a motorcycle junkyard I could roam through!

I've looked at several pictures of the Viper fairing and think that there might be some better looking ones out there. Anyone happen to know what this one is called?

Not the best pic of it, but it seems to fit the bike a lot better than the Viper does.
