That thing looks functional as can be old-n-slow but it's just too much of the state trooper look for me. I know it won't cut as much wind but I like those little sport fairings. I'll probably change my mind if I ever get to ride for more than an hour at the time...

i know this is a bit off-topic but i seen you were talking about you getting a bigger bike, well all i can say is if you like that 360 you should find yourself an old cb750. i have one and absoultly love it. just my 2 cents.

I look at all the 750's I see posted on the web when I think about what I'm getting next. That's one option for me - I love the look - but I also think I might enjoy more of a cruiser style - maybe something in the magna or shadow line. My wife really likes the thought of those two-tiered seats... so she could see for a change.

The fairing arrived from JC Whitney. Nice looking unit, but it wouldn't fit my bike so I returned. It would have looked great, but I'll have to try something else. I would have been ok with drilling a hole or two, but this one wouldn't fit in about five different ways and I think there's probably a better alternative out here somewhere.

Cool. Do you know a model number or know of a pic of the fairing somewhere? I've ordered from oldbikebarn before.

When I had my CB360T I mounted handlebar Shoei fairing...but I'm sure they are not available anymore.

You could check out National Cycle at:

http://www.nationalcycle.com/catalogue/ ... ields.html

I mounted the F-15 on my 599. Works well and doesn't affect handling yet deflects most of the wind and bugs off your body. It's only held on with four bolts, so it's fast and easy to remove if you want to.
