Guest Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 it sure seems alot like my bike, its just i cant get over that fairing xD theres not another one like it that i can find :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 There were/are several companies that supplied touring fairings for a variety of bikes.......Rickman was probably the best known in my youth...... Google Rickman touring fairings and you'll see pictures of some of them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 yes i see, however i cant seem to find one that looks like mine, and my fairing is pretty beaten up, and without it the bike doesnt look right, also whats the best way to clean up rust and corrosion ??

mealexme Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What's the numberplate of the bike?Presuming it's on the DVLAs database, we should be able to get info on it from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
