My attempt at fixing the lower fairing on a K7 1000
What do you guys think of the extension. It is a 1 piece steel belly pan that is mounted under the shifter and rear brake. i coated it with temperature resistant paint.

agreed, shorten it by 2" and it'll be real perfect. Other than that it really looks finished.

i like it... though it'd look 100000x better if it was gloss like the rest of your fairings...

I'm not sure but I definitely agree that it would look better if it was gloss black.

I think it looks good. maybe like the have said about glossy paint...
did you work the suspension through the range to make sure it wasn't going to hit/rub anywhere? |

Well i personally feel it looks a bit odd. I mean it looks good but it has a little something wrong with it i am unable to pin point. I'll try to shorten it a bit an see how it looks. Right now the fit is perfect and i get about 1 1/2 to 2" clearance from the chain when i/m on the bike
