Default Who's running a Cafe style fairing?

Was thinking about changin up my '93 a little, I think I'm gonna raise the front of the tank so it flows with the backbone better, then possibly put on one of those Cafe style fairings and change out the bars and seat. Anyone running those fairings? Would be interested to see how they look on a Sporty.

Here's mine as it sits...

I've been thinking about getting a cafe fairing too. Still looking but so far my favorite is the Arlen Ness.

I couldn't see spending over $100 on a 1/4 fairing so I made one. My bike isn't really cafe though.

Thats the one that comes on the vrod. It will look a lot like the one handsofdeath made, except slightly more curved. Theres also this as an option

There is a ton of Sportys with the hd fairing. I just didn't want to spend that much and I wanted something different. Here check out this thread there are 100's of pics.

Default cafe fairing

I picked this fairing up on e bay, I'm not sure what year or which style sporty it is for but I had not modify it to make it fit. this is my version of a cafe/bobber. If you like the look let me know and I'll find some info on it.
