CG Fairing Project. Finished!

[shammon]

Thought id post this if any one else has some info or advice about this idea. From my good friend Ebay managed to get a front fairing of a Kawasaki AR 125cc, Cheap as dammaged corner and some minor cracks, Otherwise screen and rest ok.

Decided to try to fit to the bike for two reasons 1. to improve how it looks its a naked bike so wont hurt to try and also to 2. stop my alarm keyfob getting a soaking!

Any way The light front panel is exacty the same on the cg, the square headlight type. Will need some slight removal from the internal screen ledge and corders BUT looks the part. Il keep some updates of how its going as i get it done. Just thought other cg owners would be intrested...O and fitted also crash bars. Which do look ok.

Got a pic of the crashbars?

The faring should be allright to fit provided your headlight is the square type Just going to be a matter of piffleing about makeing the bracket...


MAke sure to keep us posted how it goes

OK, Update. Fairing repaired and fixed to the front still to be primed and sprayed but fits perfect. had to remove the plastc tray insert under the fairing screen and trim about an inch of the corners to avoid it hitting the tank on full lock.

Existing brackets used to secure it to the front head light bolts with 2 home made L shaped brackets, made out of aliminum strips from B&Q £2.30. Paint is going to cost £18 cheaper from bikepaint.co.uk Others wanted £35 . Il post a pic tomorow.

Hey mate,

Was that fairing easy to fit? That's for posting this up I've been wanting to do this for ages! What advantages does the fairing give you?

If you could give me more details I'd be chuffed!

[vlf]

Awesome job, nice fit.

It does improve the CG's look, doesn't it?

[danzai66]

nice one.

my girlfriend leans out of the window and laughs at me as i kangaroo my cg past.

maybe a hayabusa fairing might work..

[iCraig]

Could someone please post the dimensions of the AR125 or GG125 headlight please?

[shammon]

Well it saves a bit of rain and wind i suppose, il post the dimentions tomorow. Cheers

Well done mate that looks great.

Just one thing. After riding bikes for nearly 20 years, I would advise you to take all those other keys off your bike ignition key. for 3 reasons.
1) I have had a key snap out of the lock because of the weight of the other keys when I rode over some bumps.
2) If the lock gets worn, especially if some scroat has a go at it with a screwdriver the keys can fall out without you noticing.
3) the rest of the keys bashing around might damage or scratch your clocks or something nearby that's painted.

I always keep my bike key seperate. I had 2 CG125 ignition keys snap until I learned my lesson.
