[QUOTE="davidd, post: 43067, member: 1177"] When I purchased the Grey Flash from Coburn Benson, it came with a well-used fairing that he had purchased in 1965. I suspect it was made in the late fifties or early sixties. At the time, Coburn was told it was a Peel. I have never been able to find a photo of this fairing in use or in any photos of Peel fairings. I was hoping someone might recognize it. The items of not are that the windscreen is self-supporting except in the very front. Second, the arm cut-outs have an up-sweep at the rear which is unusual. The sides are not attached at the lowest part of the fairing. This is a copy I made: [URL="http://s1017.photobucket.com/user/daviddunfey/media/Peel_2_zpsecb6230b.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af300/daviddunfey/Peel_2_zpsecb6230b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://s1017.photobucket.com/user/daviddunfey/media/Peel_1_zpsf3357e17.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af300/daviddunfey/Peel_1_zpsf3357e17.jpg[/IMG][/URL] David [/QUOTE]
