Not either of these, but one very similar. My tail faring is the storage version. These are pictures [sent to me by Jeff] of the race version, but the color [black] I’m getting.
Originally, I ordered the unfinished fairing with the plan to have some special painting [shadows, airbrush, etc.] done. Well, with the time it has taken to get the fairing and August rides trike I have scheduled, suggested I have Jeff Bales, Goblin Motors have the painting done. In addition, I do not want to risk a bad paint job. Jeff has had difficulty finding a quality paint source in Tucson, Arizona. Since we know that he can get a quality job, I decided to eliminate that risk, and paid for painting 6/25.
I do not yet have confirmation on the fairing going to the painter. It was suppose to have gone last Thursday or Friday [6/25 or 6/26]. I hope it ships next week. I won’t likely receive it until the week of July 6th. I hope it is before then. That will be 6 weeks after I placed the order and paid for all except the painting. This has taken longer than the approximate 2-week after order shipping described on Jeff’s web site. He has sent emails apologizing for the delay.
OH My, How Sweet…
Hi Andy, Thanks! I hope to have mine in a few weeks. –jim
It looks amazing. The storage version really has the extra streamlining and coverage to be good at racing as well. It isn’t a tiny tailbox, it is a full sized tail-fairing.
Hi Ducan, Yep, the storage version is similar to the race version–add two storage pockets and the additional weight for those pockets and you have the storage version. –jim
That is going to be incredible. You made the right decision to have the designer paint it, especially if he’s had trouble finding someone to do it right. I agree with Duncan, what a great dual-use tail fairing! I can’t wait to see how it progresses.
Hi David, Thanks! I hope to be reporting more in a few weeks. I think it will be really cool. –jim
