Hanging fairings?

05-28-2010, 01:01 PM

I am in need of room in my apt and I just had my main fairings painted. They are cut so they weigh about 1/3 the original weight. (bike is not ready for any of it to be put on)

Will it hurt to hang my fairings by one windshield bolt hole, run through the back, and back out through a mirror hole? They will be probably be there for at least a month, maybe two.

Opinions?

Nope no problem hanging it for a while, even a long time, it'll be fine!

No problem, hang them out of the way. I like the idea of trimming the fairings. Props.

I've done that so many times working on mine. Glad I'm not the only one that does it.

Are we riding yet?
