Thanks for all the beta, everybody. DRx makes good points, the major thing around here is indeed that piece of gravel or rock from a truck that could chip or even dent the tubes. I'm likin' the plexi-headlite cover idea too. The Traxxion solution looks good, seems it would deflect the hits where it really counts, for that coupla three or four inches above the seal, and the price is way right. Thanks Johnny :2thumbup:
Thanks for the additional pics of the FB, FD. I dunno, I think I like the look of the c fairing best. I've always been partial to naked or nearly naked motorcycles. Just me, I suppose. I like the idea of the paralever, but always find myself suspicious of anything that involves a rubber boot. I've had to replace too many cv boots/joints over the years. Cool stuf!
