    Bullet nose fairing for 79 Eleven

    Considering adding a bullet fairing to my 79, but not having much luck on finding a square headlight version, if anyone has a line on a maker/seller I'd would greatly appreciate it.

      I believe member IanDMacDonald has mounted that fairing on an XS11.

        Another option would be to change to a round headlight bucket.

                I am thinking about trying one of these.

                One of the good things about AI is that you can easily visualise what the bike would look like with a small faring fitted, change the colours etc. Click image for larger version

                  Actually, the more I look at the AI image, the more I am drawn to fitting a small faring.
