Message: <blockquote data-quote="burtonstratton" data-source="post: 230385" data-attributes="member: 6143">Turns out my fairing is broken on the right side where it bolts to the mount. That explains why the pockets on the right side are also broken. The bike must've gone over at some point hard enough to break the fairing. Found a replacement in pretty good shape but shipping is crazy expensive. Still, in the long run I believe it's worth it. With the fairing and paint and what I already did to clean it up and make it road worthy, I'll have about $2,500 into this bike (I got it for free). It might be closer to $3k with all the miscellaneous stuff but still not bad for what I'll have when it's done. Pretty sure I could get me money back but that's not the point is it? I don't consider my time as a cost. I enjoy this too much and the riding alone is payment enough. One thing I have noticed is I need to keep the air pressure pretty high on the rear shocks to keep it stiff enough. I have not ridden 2-up. I'm 215 lbs and don't carry much in the bags or trunk. First time I bottomed out bike was empty except for me and I had about 20 psi in the shocks. They don't leak, either. No problem with front shocks.</blockquote>
