My new, (well, 1997), wheelses. Smile

Not only is the chain slack and the subframe twisted, but it's naked.

I hope this isn't a silly question, but what do I need to get to put screen and fairing on? I've been looking at auction and breaker sites, but can't see if I just need the fairing and screen bits, or some sort of frame to fix them to.

Also, is a NTV650 Deauville of the same year the same bike with a fairing or different in other ways?

Apologies for lack of technical knowledge...

Just get a fly screen, don't need much else, comes with everything you need.

Deauville is completely different chassis wise I assume.

Screen is a must and you'll want to get a round headlight rather those chavtastic twins.

Measure the width of those chavlights - universal fly screens are designed to bolt on to the side of a round headlight, typically 7" or 8". Be sure it'll fit.

Thing is. The original headlights are made of pre rusted mild steel and covered with a micro thin layer of chrome.
Since they turn to dust without issue, they are rare as rocking horse poo.

Putting it back to standard isn't much of a great option and i imagine the light output will be better with these on.

Fitting a fairing on will be a pita though so a screen will likely be best, as someone said above.

Then I shall leave the dominators in place and enjoy the dual benefits of a post-ironic sartorial (for the bike) fashion statement and being able to see where I'm going at night...

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. Smile

Same colour as my '93 NTV650. No chain on mine either!

I will see if I can put a picture on in a minute, mine has a small front fairing/ headlight cover which I'm pretty sure isn't original.

You could fit one of these. They're made in China so won't last very long but as they're inexpensive, it won't be such a bind replacing them every couple of years.

You might as well have a candle, genuinely. Utter shit light output from them.

Grab a generic 7 inch bowl, Bandit headlight, Hornet headlight, they'll all take sexy bulbs and be near direct fit.

For some reason I'm still after one of these in spite of the apparent blandness, be it the Bros, NTV or Revere (4,6 or 650).

Wish I knew of them before I got the GS500E I got 2 years back, looks a nice one and not too old either Thumbs Up
