[QUOTE="VirtualVincent, post: 10761, member: 1695"] Thanks for all the posts and thanks to Bill for commenting. Bill, you confirmed my fears over the girdraulics. I know people say they are brilliant if you set them up right, but I also have been lead to believe that setting them up properly is an art form in itself. I hadn't realised that the Standard C had side car lugs - what a brilliantly simple solution of using them as fairing mounts :). I need to look at the schematics closely but did you need any other mounting points as well? I figured that the front fork springs would need stiffening because of the weight of the fairing. Didi you adjust the damping at all? I do like the Terry Prince machine and might yet go that way. Thanks for the link to the website - it is the same one I'd looked at before which says it was last updated on 01/01/06! That's why I'd assumed he was no longer trading. A self-build project has a LOT of appeal but perhaps they can supply it in kit form :) [/QUOTE]
