And like Ram Jet said, sell that upper fairing. If its in good condition it's easily worth $200-$300. Plastics from 1986-2007 are worth crazy money. Any issues not having the front fender?
Here is the 2001 I am thinking about doing that with. New gauge and headlight are about all I need to make it official. Would like to paint the gas tank and eliminate the rear fender. Paid $100 for the bike and completely rebuilt it. Not a great pic but she has been in the shop so long I don't have many. I bought the side fairings off ebay. I liked the 80's Honda 3wheeler look they had about them. Believe they're off a 1998. Paid $100 for the tank on ebay as the one she had on her leaked very badly. $100 was lucky and cheap. In great condition but its spray painted. So definitely a must to paint it. Thankfully my best friend is a wonderful airbrush artist. Check him out. They just finished up a Silverado.

The headlight was a cheap amazon buy and it was junk had to end up retrofitting a regular H4 bulb into it so now it's good to go. I would go with any decent round light but check the reviews 😂 I wanted to do LED pods but decided against it as I done have access to making mounts.
