Rally Fairing for DRZ400
I am currently in the process of researching and developing a larger rally style fairing for the DRZ. My goal is to adventurise the 400SM and I realise that the fixings between the S & E are different for each so part of my research is making something that will fit them all or at the very least create one fairing and brackets that will adapt to each variant.
Right now I am working around the existing headlight. I am also investigating how the design could accommodate better lighting should someone want to upgrade in the future. I will either create a separate "deluxe" full spec fairing or make a version that can accommodate a lighting upgrade. I just have to see how everything fits.
I mocked this up in Adobe Fireworks. I am in the process of making the plug for this.
Good lighting always comes at a premium and I would not be getting into that side of things. I just want to make a decent fairing that does not cost the Earth and is easy to install without a complicated framework behind.
I would be interested to know if there is a market for this sort of thing. I would be happy to adapt the design to accommodate other makes of bike provided there are sufficient numbers... lets say over 10.
I'm not a vendor yet. This is just a straw poll to see if it is worth my while. Either reply here, PM me or email motoeverywhere@gmail.com
Cheers
Jon
