Aww c'mon. You live 1/2 mile from the GCP. Its got curves.![]()
You mean the Jackie Robinson Parkway, with all the "dead man's curves"?
It's like paying Russian roulette with an automatic.

The whole state is flat and straight. Better having a drag bike.One of the Floridian members here was bemoaning the lack of interesting rides in Florida.
I enjoyed his comment regarding cornering.

these may of been put on before , not bad price all loaded ?
Mea culpa.BritTwit is guilty of raising the other concern that I cannot seem to shake, with his ‘meat slicer’ analogy (thanks BritTwit). I would need to satisfy myself WRT the risk profile.
Not upset mate, just better informed. Really had’nt given the safety element any thought and when I did I was’nt catastrophising, just weighing up the likelihood and the associated risk. Can’t ignore it; let’s face it motorcycling is a risky enough proposition.Mea culpa.
I didn't mean to upset you, just to cause a pause for thought.
Someone also pointed out that on the street, rarely if ever does one high side, which I think is probably true.
When I was racing I did on a few occasions, dismount this way, so the experiences are indelibly etched in my mind.
As an option to the alloy fairing, AirTech makes a multitude of different half fairings in fibreglass, some for the track, some for the street.
Maybe you could find one that is suitable for your purposes. Try the attached link.
I like the RICCR1S - Rickman CR cafe short fairing – street
Looks very functional . If you ride for any longs distances these changes would be welcome I think.these may of been put on before , not bad price all loaded ?
Nice, Thanksa std LM1 fairing wouldn't fit the 961 forks, as its made for a narrower yolks and forks. I have fitted a LM1 fairing to a more recent Guzzi and it was a pita.. as the mounts had to be remade. BTW I think a fairing from a Kawasaki Z900RS would work well. I have a carbon fibre one on another project. For a half fairing, I feel the original Ducati SS900 Demo would work well, the lines of the 961 remind me of my old desmo.

Which fairing is that? Bottom pictureThe Desmo fairing looks OK, but I still think the Thruxton fairing works best with the lines/ proportions of the 961.
The Norton bikini fairing has always worked well IMO (mk2 shown here) offering some (minimal) protection also. Very expensive for what it is though.
Don’t think the LM1 fairing would work from an aesthetics perspective.
