Mina did you cut fairings yourself or did you get someone to do it ?

If possible are you able to post a close up pic. Thanks!

I bought some frame sliders of ebay but haven't got around to installing them yet as you need to cut the fairings on the 7.

At least once but more likely 2 or 3 times to do that sorta damage :shock:

I like a good nobbing, especially first thing in the morning. nothing better then knowing it aint gonna hurt to much if you go down on the wet stuff in the front yard. :wink:

I also think they can add to the look os some bikes like Barrabobs green ones or Janelles 4.

Yeah I am keen to get a set for the 7 as well. Be interested to see how they mount (no obscenities please)

my crash's fit easily cos of the fairings, so i wont go into much detail cos u dont need to kno...but, on one drop the cheap nasty crash smashed apart, bent the bolt & did fark all to protect anything...i then fitted the REAL crash knobs, they were on wen i crashed 2nd time & did a much better job, and are still on my bike (ground away a lil tho)

Thanks for the pics, Tanya. They look much better than I was expecting. The ones that Dave bought look kinda dorky (I'm in trouble if he comes back into this thread now!)

I'm going to have to look around for some stylish ones, since the consensus seems to be pro. Besides, I'd never hear the end of it if I did scratch her up in a slow speed mistake.

Thanks for the opinions, guys
