Hello all,
I know in the passed people have talked about putting wire mesh behind the little gaps in the side fairing but has anybody considered putting something up the front of the lowered fairing? if anybody knows of this being done and has some pictures I'd like to see them, cheers

The problem with 'meshing' the front of the lower fairing will be fixing it. Mesh in the slots is usually glued in, you cannot glue the front mesh as you need to be able to take it out for servicing.

Someone MIGHT have a cunning way of getting round that though.

i was thinking of using the same type of fasteners that are at the back of the bike under the rear

Our man Quiff did a super job on his curvy with some mesh although upper fairing only if I recall correctly.

Quite partial to a bit of mesh myself as the pic shows:
