Thought I'd share a few pics of the completed winter project, just a few things that should make it more user friendly especially with the cold weather beginning and end of season!

Very nice job, I had a 36 with and without the race faring. With is much better, Bobby told me it cost you 3 mph at top end but being 6'4" I am okay with the lost speed.

That looks awesome. I have the flip up wind screens and anything over 50mph I really take a good whipping from the wind.

I would like to add a fairing eventually as well.

Looks awsome!!! Are you going to be hitting Kellys this summer?

thanks,

will definitely be at Kelley's...

3 mph --- I'll take that over the 100 mph wind at my belt!

Last Father's day we made a late night run to PIB , and I was hiding behind the compass to get away from the May flys-- not fun.


I also moved the shifters to the left hand as there isn't much room on the right with all 4 handles.

Looks great, I love the look of the fairing.

Looks great!

We have a fairing and just installed acrylic at the top to deflect even more of the wind. We were getting blasted with wind. I think the acrylic is 3" in height if I remember correctly.

We'll be at Kelley's over the July 4th weekend...just made our reservations at Portside for a few days there and possibly one night elsewhere.

Nice, I expect to see both apaches at kellys on the 4th :)

Rob, can you post a pic of the acrylic? Thanks, Ike.
