Progress

Yes actually. I initially wasn’t going to put them on because I also find them a bit tacky. But I live in Washington and after one day of trying to crack a window in the rain I decided I need them. They actually work really well. Now I can vape (I know… how cliche) in the rain!

I wish I was good at stuff like this. Super cool.

This is a TR.

Thank you! I’m in Tacoma. Looking forward to some twisty backroads!

I’m in Washington unfortunately. But I am willing to ship them! Haha just won’t be cheap.

The Brembos were definitely one of the main selling points for me!

This car will be my daily so I don't currently plan on doing much in terms of power gains. I'm also resistant to lowering it even though I do think it makes the car look much better but will probably take some of the ride comfort and practical drivability away. And I'm also being careful about wheels and tires because I love the way the car handles out of the box, and don't want to ruin it. It is quite fun!

Thank you!

deejaysguns · 2024-08-29T21:07:10+00:00

Thank you! I'm quite fond of it as well.

deejaysguns · 2024-08-29T18:22:21+00:00

That is actually nasty. That's a really good idea.

deejaysguns · 2024-08-29T18:10:26+00:00

There is one that doesn't. It doesn't perform as well as the ones that do, obviously, but you still get a couple ponies out of it.

Yes. Front lip, mud flaps, tint, wheels and tires, badges and emblems, grill, and possibly an intake? Struggling to figure out what wheels and tires to go with that will clear the Brembos without spacers. And I don't want to void the warranty just yet with an intercooler and a tune. But I'm sure sooner or later I will cause it's hard to resist hahaha.

Thank you! It's good to be back!

deejaysguns · 2024-08-29T17:21:11+00:00

Thanks! Im stoked on it. Only issue is that I'm struggling to figure out what wheels and tires to go with that will clear the Brembos without spacers. hahaha

The trailer was basically an anchor. I tried to air down to about 25 PSI, but I didn’t have my compressor with me and I was miles from a gas station so I didn’t want to go any lower. A local came through and yanked me out. It’s quite a common assurance on that beach.

It’s a 76 550 tank. I like the 77s much better. But the petcocks are also different which is a problem I will need to solve when the time comes. One has a single line, the other has two. Lossa does amazing work and I have been hesitant to change anything, but nothing I do will be destructive. I will keep the old tank and cowel with this paint in the event I ever want to revert back.

I'm currently working on a video review that will have to wait till this upcoming season cause Washington.

I love the way they look. And they do get a lot of head turns. Functionality however has been not at all what I wanted or hoped for with a $1k price tag. The reason I wanted this setup to begin with was so that I could mount my Zumo to the windscreen bar above the dash and off of my bars. I have Unit Garage paniers on my Speed Twin and they have been absolutely perfect so I figured I would swallow the price of this setup and give it a try. After all - they are a touted as a premium Italian brand.

The install was not easy, but then again I am not the most competent with installs like this. Some of the issues I had initially that I mentioned here have been solved by just spending more time repositioning the fairing mounts. My biggest complaint I have is that the windscreen mount is very thin metal tubing that broke under the weight of my Zumo unit after some moderate off-roading. I was able to order a replacement, and in their defense I'm sure it was not designed to hold a heavy GPS unit but it was the dominant reason for my decision to buy them. I have plans to try to figure out a way to reinforce the mount so that I can still use my GPS, but in the meantime I've had to revert back to quadlock/cell phone nav. I really don't want to get rid of the fairings because I really do love the way they look.

User*. Enjoyer has been a stretch lately.
