Urghhhh.... So was basically riding down the freeway and got pulled over by some random car. The guy looks at me and says " did u not notice that you lost both sides of your fairings about 5 km down the freeway. So I looked and noticed both sides of my fairing were ripped off. Did not even notice or feel anything while I was riding. Still have not found them.

Instant street fighter!
Now all you have to do is put loads of shite purple bolts on it, Jack up the rear end so far that it handles like a 70's monkey bike then buy a Simpson bandit helmet.....

hahaha, it looks cool in a way but miss the plastics way more than most ex girlfriends. So much for keeping the bike original. Strange thing is, I feel the bike has a little more power. Might be due to the increased airlow.

Now to find someone with plastics in South Africa. Arghhhhhh

Why not strap a few ex-girlfriends to each side and you'll neither miss the fairings nor the girlfriends. Win win situation really.

Probably easier to do than find some fairings in SA, like you say.
