I'd be seriously interested in one, if you're offering one for sale.

I have one, but the condition is poor and its really been cut up. I am looking for one in good condition with the gauges. I will see if I can locate the one I have and see what condition its in.I'd be seriously interested in one, if you're offering one for sale.

Turned out I needn't have worried about the handling, as it's ended up almost in the same stance and feel as the XJ900F, which I've really gotten used to in the past few months. Strictly speaking, it's a bit lower at the front that it should be (as the GS1000 stanchions are ~19mm shorter), but it works out ok. Apart from trying to put it on the centrestand now. That's going to need some alteration.
It's actually quite chuckable around the twisties and there was absolutely no feel of front heaviness from it at all, unlike the last full fairing I had on this bike - that certainly let me know it was there.
The shortened screen is just right in this app - up to about 70, it's letting some wind to me, but not much, and over that speed, it's quite effective. I'll see how it goes during the rest of the winter and might put a deflector on it, if I feel it needs it.
I found the seller of that empty shell, and he'd failed to sell either of the ones he had so he'd dropped his price a lot. I expressed interest, but he hasn't come back to me. The empty one suits me, as I can make my own front plate, to suit myself.I have one, but the condition is poor and its really been cut up. I am looking for one in good condition with the gauges.
