brheen Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 brheen no worries - see previous post for more details and good luck with the install - I think you will like the result. luhbo - apparently the tube was designed to carry an emergency supply of spaghetti (will hold approx 12 strands) ... Its missing on mine :-) se pic :-)
luhbo Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 You know that your frame has the wrong colour? Could it be that the previous owner cut the tube off before the paint job? Hubert
Gio Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 If so I wouldn't worry - the tube is not required (but could have been intended originally) for secure mounting as the "U"-bolt takes care of that ) ...

Jepp i know the hole bike has been gone over from scratch and evetything paintet - but he had not made any change on the frame :-) thanks for the tips im getting there :-) maybe in the winter time il make a new bracket - result :-) so fare -
luhbo Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 ... and do you have the lower handlebars,too? I quite sure the fairing wont work with the standard bars (or vice versa) On the pic you can see both the bars and to what purpose the tube was meant. Hubert
Gio Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Yes - lower clip-ons are required ... should be supplied with the kit.
brheen Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Lower clip on and new speedo converter all in the package - oki finish not super but oki. Only regrets clear glas - new in order :-) black tainted - hope too ride this weekend :-)

Hubert power coated ? ore did they deliver in silver ? mine is power coated in silver :-)
Gio Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Speedo converter ..? I don't recall anything relating to the speedo with the kit I installed ..?

I quite sure the fairing wont work with the standard bars (or vice versa) On the pic you can see both the bars and to what purpose the tube was meant. Hubert On my Sport, year 2000, there are two tubes across the head tube, but nothing attached. Are they for the mounting of the earlier 1100 Sport fairing?
brheen Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Speedo converter ..? I don't recall anything relating to the speedo with the kit I installed ..? Its a L shaped converter for the speedo cabel - makes the kabel run a bit better under the fairing - came whit the packet ( in mine )
Gio Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Ah yes - I had forgotten about that part (it was over 10 years ago that I installed my fairing - memory not what it used to be!) - just got a new cable (per earlier post) which comes as stock with straight ends - others have reported problems with the angle drives with time, but mine seem to have held up well - a bit of lube now and then probably helps ...

slowkitty Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Got one for my Scura. It complements the bike. Came with compatible clip ons etc. The stock clip ones are too high and will hit the fairing.
Gio Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Docc - there may be no rational answer to your question re double luhbo tubes - perhaps you had a prototype endurance frame with double the standard spaghetti capacity ... consider this a bonus feature!
