    Wire wheels or cast? Vetter fairing - ewww. Do you have the bits to put
    it back to stock?
    Well, I'm kinda interested but it would need to be at least running and
    rideable as I've got enough dead bikes already.

    He tried to sell it to me in Sedan. I actually wanted to buy the thing, but
    I wanted him to confirm that it still actually existed first...

    I think that may be a good thing...

    That fairing needs shooting though, double quick time. And it could do
    with UK-spec handlebars as well.

    Fucking boxheads, the Vetter is one of the best fairings of all time. I
    even like the look of it. Had one on an R65. Shame the plastic is a bit
    fragile though, I prefer the Rickman clone for it's GRP repairability.

    This Wing looks rather clean and together?! what exactly am I
    missing.....before I make the next huge mistake in my lifelong list of
    huge mistakes. I prefer this model to the current Platy version, just
    needs a can of military spec brush-on black cammo paint.

    I remember when they first came out. I sort-of accepted them, but never
    actually liked them.
    It's been living with petrolcan for the last few years, so it probably looks
    as though it's been stored in a canal.

    Big tedious things with months in them. Tend to creep up on you, especially
    in the absence of tuits.

    It has to be said I find it pretty underwhelming as well.

  15. aye, that's the one. had the advantage of futuristic looks. The other one
    just looks like it should have a flip-up light but it's stuck in the up
    position, or someone's taken it out and replaced it with a halfords foglamp.
