CX Fairing

Hi Guys,

I have managed after many months to find a full fairing for my CX. I ride up a very exposed part of the M5 everyday and the wind resistance starts to take its toll on my neck at, anything over 50!

Anyways, I found this Rickman Fairing yet am not sure what model it is? It has no brackets which I will need to make up. Anyone have any ideas in advance of how to fix it on? I am yet to offer it up to the Bike to have a look see.

I will be tidying it up and respraying it before it goes on the bike. If anyone has any tips on preparing and spraying plastics, that too would also be a great help!

Thanks in advance

I bodged a rickman onto my cx,
makes it handle like a bigger dog than it is,
mind you,,
look at the origonal fitting mounts and work it out from there
the fun bit is altering the wireing for your lights,
the easy bit is making mounting brackets, all I can recomend is looking for a cx owners club site and seeing if theres any infor in there
