[NBs996]

I thought I was onto a lead for an S4 challenge nose cone, but it turns out I was barking up the wrong tree, peeing in the wind, flogging a dead horse, etc...

So, does anyone have a lead, or better still a supply, of nose fairings for a monnie that don't have the headlight cutout?
What are you M6** riders doing about displaying the front number?

All suggestions gratefully received!

Put a barn door on the front Nick should give a good drag coefficient

You wanna have a word with Dribble! He comes from an Italian background and we all know they have a long tradition of producing some very tasty cones

so when I saw 2 replies to my bid for help, I thought... Great, some sensible people...

sadly, I'm not always right!

You wanna get one of Pete's old leather and wood pudding basin crash helmets, paint it white and strap that on in place of a headlight

Nick, what you want is some lead fashioned into a cone shape - about 2 and a half inches thick should do. Although you will need to 'brace' the mounting points so that they are 4 inches thick.

Ideally you will want this covering as low as the front cylinder head right round over the top of the clocks to a height of approximately 2 foot.

Would not simply using a fly-screen be acceptable ???

(thought I'd better a post a semi-sensible answer)

A motorcross style board would do it
