By Goro 03/2005 Some
dirty work one weekend. The bike is completely covered by salt, on
every road this week.
Anyway: the job is not finished so don't pay too much attention to
details.
1&2) Headlight and windscreen supports, alu 3mm made

3) The alternative work table ;-)

4) The bike

If you ride in the dark, I do NOT suggest my headlight: they're
anti-fog lamps for cars.
Very wide and powerful beam near the lamp...useless to light far
behind the bike.
But there are some polyellipsoidal lights (don't know if it's
correct, sorry) used for endurance race that are better (but not
cheaper ;-))

This is not the final look: I have to design and fit the windscreen,
probably made by plexiglass, eventually by carbon fiber.
And I'm not sure about the color of these supports: now they're
black but could be natural alum...what do you think about it? I've
been influenced only by the angularity of the bike and by my desire
of lowering the front line of the bike.

UPDATE..........and the screen The thermic gun had
its way: the plexiglass has been shaped to fit the headlight
support, just in time for the track day. This is the beta version,
no finish at all.
I installed a couple of FAR mirrors, that I think match the line of
my darling. Here are some pics.
