Kimjon's next money pit - BMW Airhead cafe racer build

Instagram ready photo...aka, mocked up with duct tape. But after fettling it into 4 different hights and 4 different offsets fore and aft I settled on this position. Ideally id like it another 10mm back towards the tank, but its already created endless issues with cables and wiring. -

Its just an Aliexpress version. About $150 landed with a handful of belts. I can't see a more expensive one offering any advantages over this one, as its just two ideler pulleys and a driver that goes on the grinder spigot. Only thing I changed was a cheap Phillips head screw for a m6 Allen cap screw. Be easy to make one, but at that price why would you. -

I got this tool the other day...what a fabulous invention. Its a pipe linisher that goes on an angle grinder. Made my shitty flap disc job look amazing in no time. The photo about was after about a minutes worth of linishing. The tightly curved parts of this sub frame still require more work - I'll buy some of the skinny belts to do that. 10/10 would recommend this tool. -

Main reason for the fairing is to hide all the ugly, like cables, wiring looms, and digital speedo etc I think it looks pretty tidy. It's not actually installed in these photos, just boogied up with cable ties, etc...but gives a pretty good idea of the look it'll achieve. Paint will tie it all back together when its done. Looks a bit disconnected at the moment. -

Im on the fence regarding this. Its cable tied there badly for the purpose of the photo. Obviously I need to cut it up, to get it sitting better etc. The only reason I'm thinking of the fairing is to hide the ugly of my digital speedo. If I could get a small speedo I'd probably shift away from the fearing. 50/50...will give it some absorption time to think about it some more. -

Smaller headlight. Its not quite where I want it, but it gives me a starting point. Mini fairing on order too, so this is plan B. The fairing could offer nicer way of hiding an ugly instrument display, so might be a winner. Keeping an open mind until I can play with both ideas. -

New small headlight on order, grips, small 1/2 front fearing (but not 100% committed to this idea). Want to lower bike a touch in the front too. But overall I'm pretty happy with it so far. -
