Ain`t saying its pretty, but actually can see some thoughts in the design given the decade, StarWars and Disco-music...  :)

Whereas this designer just seem to have overestimated the size of the 1100, however that should be possible  ;D

I saw that a while ago, and when reading the advertising blurb on it, it said the mounting brackets are good for 160 lbs, which makes me wonder how heavy that monster would be.

Here's a link to a Vintage '70's Fairing photo collection I stumbled across - http://www.stephenbottcher.net/fairing/index.html

Lots of good pics in there, plus some real shockers, too!
