Yeah.....looks like the fairing is an aftermarket addition.....

[Guest]

it sure seems alot like my bike, its just i cant get over that fairing xD theres not another one like it that i can find :/

[Tango]

There were/are several companies that supplied touring fairings for a variety of bikes.......Rickman was probably the best known in my youth...... Google Rickman touring fairings and you'll see pictures of some of them.....

[Guest]

yes i see, however i cant seem to find one that looks like mine, and my fairing is pretty beaten up, and without it the bike doesnt look right, also whats the best way to clean up rust and corrosion ??

What's the numberplate of the bike?

Presuming it's on the DVLAs database, we should be able to get info on it from that
