Just installed the Hoppe Quad fairing, a few pics
« on: July 27, 2007, 08:18:28 AM »
Just installed the Hoppe fairing that I purchased from a national board member, install went pretty well for the most part, getting the paint matched correctly took most of the time, most of the paint shops that I went to were not comfortable trying to match the color even with the Honda code, most suggest that I get the paint from Honda, I found a local automaotive paint store that was able to come up with a almost dead on match. The install went as per the instructions, mounts to the forks, (and for those who have the spec 3 covered forks the fairing will mount as well just will have to remove the top tripple tree and unblot the chrome cover and reassemble) with 6 automotive clamps. The fairing comes with the 6 marine speakers and the Eclipse 2000 radio which is HD/sirius ready. The problem I ran into was where to install the satellite tuner that is necessary to have the sirius available through the Eclipse. I was under the impression that there would be enough room inside the fairing above the radio to mount the tuner, called Hoppe and was told that there was not enough space insde the fairing to mount the tuner and it would probably have to go under the seat and the cables ran under the tank inside the fairing that plugs into the back of the Eclipse2000. If anyone has a better way to install this tuner please let me know. Still waiting on the windshields to come in, but I am happpy so far with the look.
