Customising a rally type fairing
It's really no big deal for some,but it's an epic just yet for myself.The good part about something like this,is,the memories will always stick around with you for a long time.
Introduction :
Before the whole thing got started,I've bought a used 2002 XR650R with already high milege of 60,000km.I've gotten used to the bike doing the weekend trails almost every sunday.
The Mods :
The XR have been slowly built up for the highway long run.I've fitted a Acerbis Sahara 25l tank,black excel rims,and was customising a rally type fairings which have been much influenced by those dakar rallye bikes.But the idea is simple,i got a beaten up Honda NX650 front fairings,and did some fibreglass job.
Here's the process of welding a bracket at the front of the bodyframe to hold the headfairing bracket.
At this point,it looks like it's a screwed up job.
I've added a KTM radiator fan for cooling the bike on traffic situation.
It takes 2 weeks to complete the fairings job.
And on it's 1st day out.
2 weeks after the fairings done,did one tight trail
