"Make your own" XT 600 Dakar fairing

[photographicsafaris]

I want a bit more weather resistance for my XT 600 for European motorway use, so I looked around on everyone’s forums, and I cant bring myself to buy one of those ceebee screens that mount on the handle bars, they look truly awful.

I like the tenere headlight mount of the 89 tenere (3aj I think), but they don’t mount onto my tank. The 1VJ just doesn’t quite have it. I looked at the Dakar bikes and like the idea of an elongated race number screen. This could also be used to protect the GPS from most of the elements.

I did look at the Suzuki DR600 dakar screen, it is handle bar mounted and has a small fly screen, which I think looks magic. So does anyone know where I can buy one? and will it fit?

The other idea is to buy some Perspex and to make my own… (ordered sheet and on its way)

Anyone any tips, its going to be a real hash job, wish I had access to some blue or yellow tinted polycarbonate, now that would look great.

Also need to figure out how to post more pics
