Custom Dakar Fairing For Te510

Gday,

I just thought I'd post my corona project in here for interest and any advice people have.

I've started making a dakar fairing for my 2010 TE510. I recently fitted a safari tank and decided I needed some wind protection, a proper dash and better headlight(s).

So far I've just shaped the preliminary design by eye from polyurethane foam. The plan is to finalise the shape in the next few days, glass over the foam to make a plug then take a mold off it. I watched some videos on YouTube of some Belgium blokes making one for a bike (

) and got inspired.

Next steps will be to work on the subframe that the new headlight and fairing will bolt to. The plan here is to mould a piece that clamps around the headstock and extends straight out, similar to how I've seen them make the dakar subframes.

In terms of the headlight, I just bought a cheap LED headlight meant for a Harley off eBay, but still waiting for this to arrive. Some pictures of progress are attached... Be happy to hear anyone put their 2 bobs worth in.

Cheers.

Here is the most recent shape. I'm going to hold off on doing more until the headlight arrives.

Does anyone have photos of a nav tower/fairing mounted to the frame?

Headlight just arrived, it's bloody perfect. $35 delivered from eBay, it will be possible to fit 2, however I think this would be overkill. The plan id's to mount it offset, endurance racer style.

Here's some pictures of the prototype mounting.
