    I would say that the headlamp is sticking out from the fairing a bit too much. If it could be set back 5-10mm I think it would look better - only my personal opinion of course.

    Looks great!
    The same genuine Triumph bikini fairing was fitted to my Bonnie when I bought it.
    The chrome rim is virtually flush with the front of the fairing on mine.
    As Big Lad says if it can be set back a tad it may look even better.

    Looks as good as anything else on the market, perhaps if it was black ?

    Notice you've blacked the headlight brackets, do the bolts screw into the side of the headlight or do you need to take the rim/glass off first ?

    They don't work for me,the fact that it goes right around seems to be the reason, I don't know why.

    I'm liking that. I was only thinking last week what would the 900 fairing look like on the thruxton R and couldn't remember where I had read that someone was fitting one.
    How do you get on with the mirrors mounted bellow, do you still get reasonable view of whats behind.
