Here is my version of a fairing for my XBS9 Low. Just in case you are wondering how it works, it moves the wind blast up to about shoulder level.

Not the most beautiful thing I've seen, but I bet it works very well. |

Looks like an XB Outer Airbox Cover? Kudos on the fab job. |

I think it IS or was an outer air box cover? |

Good eyes - yes it was an air box cover. I might have been able to lower it some but this was just the test project. If I find another air box cover - or something similar - I might try to improve it some. |

Wow, that's ingenious. Very cool & clever idea. It looks so professional that it would have taken me a long, long while to notice that it was an air box cover had no one spilled the beans. |

Hey... if it was lowered... but tipped up more... it would still deflect the wind. What was the little windshield off of? |

Found the windshield at a salvage yard (reason for blue color) the tag said 650 - 750 Katana-yr unknown. I was hoping someone here might recognize it and post the year/model. I would prefer a different color myself, but it worked for a test mule. |

I hope you didn't take that the wrong way...I'm very impressed with your ingenuity. In fact, now my wheels are turning. I wonder how cheap I could pick up a black airbox cover on e-bay.... |

Looks like the original letters could have stayed on, wall-ah, Buell aftermarket fairing. |
