maybe the shrouds are off your forks so this may not be applicable but I found the memphis shades fork mounts were a good solid basis when i was playing with a bigger HD fairing,

What are you going to do with all the wiring that's inside the stock headlight bucket? I ended up going with a junction box when I went with dual 4 1/2 s. Still trying to figure out a better looking alternative.

Maybe the Triumph air dam would be a good accent for that look. I remember one post where the poster had relocated his pegs and foot controls back behind the center for more of a cafe' position. But I'm curious to see how she turns out. Good luck with it.

I would love a air dam thing but I hate the price. Bhis bike has been built on a buget every thing has been used, built by me or traded.

You sound like a man after my own heart. The bikes are cheap but they kill us on the accessories.
I've been thinking about how it may be possible to put together a nice low budget air dam with some sheet aluminum and ingenuity.
Shouldn't be that hard to figure out how to mount it once you have the basic layout. You could use poster paper to work out a template to use as a guide to cut out the aluminum. Bolt it together with machine screws or pop rivets.
Polished or painted it should be an inexpensive yet impressive project. Heck you might even be able to bend your sheet aluminum so that any pop riveted seams would be underneath and out of plain view.
If you can work a little fiberglass, that would give you even more flexibility to work out something.... Just thinkin' out loud
But first things first. You've got that fairing to get done.

I like that. Two of those would look good on the front of my bike.

Well all this time I have been waiting to get money for a headlight to finish mounting and then paint. Well thanks to some very nice weather in NY I was cleaning my storage and found some parts from a old Honda 400 auto my father rebuild. There was a head light in there that is almost perfect. So now I need to mount it and paint it. The head light even has the same plug so I don't have to clip wires.
Think if I put the plugs in a baggy behind the faring they will be OK?
