I had its baby brother on another bike and that was actually much sleeker and yet effective.Coop a.k.a.

My first thought a few years ago was "lose the fairing" but I'll have to find the headlight and nacelle. Almost seems I remember it overhead in the garage but maybe not. There's some sort of threshold for what I'd spend on it, not sure what that might be.Coop a.k.a.
