RAT fairing
Did you neuter a Polaris or an Arctic Cat? 
You need that headlamp though!
I found a Vetter with the windshield cracked at the bottom (enough usable area for what I wanted to do), but the motorcycle yard wants 50.00 and I couldn't do it yet. Found a sealed 12V cycle battery there though that was a great deal. They sell KYMCO and used cycles, and KYMCOs are certain one of the nicest degrees of PHAT outside of a Harley lot, to stray OT slightly.

I ditched the engine because it was ridiculous and unnecessarily fast.
I ground the frame clean, welded what holes I didnt need, and began painting.
Now I wanted to chop the frame and do some fun stuff but I just can't decide what to do, so for now it will wait and be my weekend cruiser to the pool and store.

I regret the decision, as the F1 also came with a 62 tooth chainring, which is impossible to find anywhere.

The three bikes that preceded the Type 4:
Type 1 was 12 speed bike with an aluminum nose cone:
Type 2 was the Type 1 with a "dustbin" over the front wheel:
Type 3 was a fiberglass copy of the Type 2:

Too bad, that one looked pretty cool...but I would imagine the aluminium was a bit heavier than the fibreglass.
