I picked a lower cowl up last year and finally got around to mounting it. Of course, it came with no mounts, instructions, pictures/diagrams etc.

So basically I was on my own. I came up with some tin to fab mounting templates, mocked everything up a hundred times to get it where I thought it looked/fit the best. Then I fabbed the mounts out of aluminum and installed it. I had to pick up the left side rear mounting point off the mag cover bolt. The right side had to come from the lower front clutch cover bolt.

Since I was working without a net on this deal. What's everybody think?

Looks interesting, but isn't that for the NS50F?

No. It is for a MB5. The fairing is really set up for a race pipe, but works with a stocker as well. It really is too bad there aren't many MB aficianado's on the site. Was looking for some feedback on what they have done on their MB's......

Yeah I had one for a while. Didn't get to do too much to it other than ride. Fun bike but traded it in for a Derbi Supermoto.

Nice find on a rare piece.

Isn't the bottom of the cowl suppose to be level with the ground or is it the camera angle?
