| Pretty innovative racket by Ted Kieper: "It's made from 1.25 x ..75 6061-T6 aluminum forging stock cut-offs that I got from a local musical harp maker. I machined the pieces in my machine shop and heli-arced them together after reverse engineering your original mounts to get the angles right. The fairing mounts perfectly level with 4 1/4" bolts on each side and lower than normal giving the Suzuki a more modern low look. | |||||||||||

| Craig comments: Great job, Ted. The whole trick here was to keep the crossbar from twisting. In Vetter days, our standard way was to triangulate with tubing. This mount works because Ted has wisely used thick chunks of aluminum. His crossbar is not likely to twist. The only downside I can see is that his oil cooler is in front of the cylinder heads. Making your own home made brackets may be easier like this because you don't have to deal with tubing. | |||||||||||
