She looks like an angel! That ol frame is gonna get dirty quick, but fair play looks good. Are those Marzzochi 38 forks? If they are, they are feather light, have a drain screw at the bottom so you dont have to strip them + they work pretty good. They are longer than the modern forks, so if you change them, like I did, you have to use a stepped top yoke unless you want to speed up the steering.
More photos please!
Cheers,
Rod

Hi,
I would be interested in seeing pics of the two fairings side by side to see what the differences are as apparently there is a Magnum 1 and magnum 2 fairing but also and endurance one, which mine may have as apparently the fairing bracket curves upwards which mine does.
If you can post a couple of pics of the fairings for me I would be grateful.
I also wonder if it would be worthwhile getting a mould made up from the Mag1 fairing, as if it gets damaged you'll never get another.
Perhaps a few of us with Mag1's could club together get a mould and some fairings made, just a thought
p.s. Keep the white its looks good, I just could not resist the pun

It was good to meet you Brent, my Mrs has spent the money already 
It'll be Ok with the white frame, the wheels will look awful before the frame unless you do the old specials trick of not putting chain lube on 'cos wheel cleaning is a pain
Ask Iain Marshal if you want a mold making as he has a friend who does it professionally.
