Oil-cooled GSX-R750/1100 early model conversion? Fairing plan? In progress…

We won’t forget about it.

Plans are uncertain and things rarely go smoothly—that’s what I’ve been thinking lately.
There are so many ambulances around.

Tokyo is pretty scary; I feel it every day.

We’re going to attach the ears on the upper fairing stay.
You know, the bits for the mirrors and such.

Since we have a bender, bending is easy. Heating and bending by hand is a pain.

Don’t you think these bend easily if you drop the bike or lay it down, and then it’s a hassle to fix?
So the strategy is to make it removable.

And manufacturing becomes a bit easier and more flexible—nothing but good things, I think.

I made a boss that attaches to the stay. I milled it so it fits the pipe.

And that’s how it all came together.

If it’s weak, we reinforce it.
If it doesn’t work, we remake it. I love building things that don’t fail.
More to come!
