If you have a spare $47000.

Lot of $ for a SB Heron head, fancy pics. Way over priced.

"too many custom parts to list", but it's still sporting ugly factory valve covers. $47k and you can't even throw the racer covers on there?!

It's all fun and games until you are trying to cross the Oklahoma Panhandle with a 40-mph crosswind...of course, it COULD be one way to get to Kansas QUICKLY...or Nebraska...

 :popcorn:looks like a wind-up tin toy motorcycle from the 40’s

Airtech stocks fiberglas dustbin fairings for less than 47k.  I've often thought of putting one on my Eldo, just because.  There is, however, a reason that dustbins were banned in the late '50s.

[antmanbee]

Why were they banned?

[oldbike54]

Why were they banned?

 For the very reason they don't work on the street , crosswinds really push a dustbin fairing around . Well , and speeds were getting a bit too high for the tires and brakes of that era .

     I think Barry is the "one off"!

[Turin]

I believe Evan Wilcox made that fairing. ( hand beaten aluminum by Wilcox is not cheap).

I don't know if that fairing is worth $43,000.00 though.

[Old Jock]

There seem to be quite a lot of these around

Here is one not nearly so nice but a "bin" all the same I seen on E-Bay a while back.

The guy wanted funny money but not as much as that guy is asking

[pikipiki]

How do you take it off for servicing, front tyre change? Do you just bend it off and on?

[Muzz]

Imagine when it fell off the side stand....

[Moto]

Yeah , if ya don't mind going sideways

I've never been completely convinced that it would be that bad in a steady crosswind. It would move the center of pressure forward, but as long as you had a good front tire and a steady hand...

Pikipiki, Has anyone seen the other side of that bike?  It may be easier taking the fairing off than doing the same on a Daytona. It still scares me when prying that fairing apart, while trying not to scuff anything. Is an 1100 Sport easy?  R3~ 

[Turin]

No. DaytonaRS / 1100Sport fairing removal is a bit easier if you turn the forks all the way in one direction and wiggle the fairing off.
