The fairings were from the bike. They weren't on when I got it back. They needed to have the paint touched up and clear coated. They are original...
Thanks, I stripped it down to the frame last winter and cleaned, restored or replaced each part. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Installed the covers on the bike today. The side covers were pretty straightforward, kind of a pain removing 30 year old gaskets with a razor...

If you have time, send me a pic of the swing arm if you wish. Never what will happen. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Decided to spend a little time on the swing arm today. The first one is the swingarm after washing off the easy off. Looks like it got most of...
Was watching some videos. Looks like I'll go with the easy off next week followed by some hand sanding. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
