This fairing looks fantastic on the TBS :-D , I've got one on my 98 yellow and black vs black and yellow on the 04. Like Dave says, I am basically using the clutch & brake master cylinders as supports for the screen because it gets pushed around at high speeds. I bought a couple of stick on felt pads for protecting hardwood floors from scuffs by chair legs, and put them on the fairing where it hits the master cylinders to quite things down and prevent any scuffing.

The mounting brackets that come with it are a little hokey, and I ended up buying large rubber washers to protect the headlight bracket chrome from scratchs. Maybe Dave has a better solution. I think custom brackets would be the ideal way to go but don't have any idea where to start at this point. What I would like is having a third bracket somewhere to hold the desired angle that you preset. At higher speeds, the wind forces the screen down so basically you have one adjustment angle.

There is a picture of my bike in here somewhere, I didn't have them set me up a user maintained album, but if I find the link to the picture I'll edit this message an post it.


Here it is from a bad angle. Can't really see the fairing... Want more picks, PM me with your e-mail and I'll send some to you. TBS w/Cafe Fairing (left rear)
