Awakening Rip Van Sabre - Going "Commando"

Awakening Rip Van Sabre - Going "Commando"

Sept 1998

The title of this page refers to GSF's desire to run the bike without the Hondaline Fairing. Proving that he has more fashion sense than his old man, GSF joins the many people on the Sabre/Magna list who feel that the Hondaline fairing is "fugly".

Removing the fairing was easy (we'd taken if off before for service work) and this bike was originally sold without a fairing, so the only pieces we needed were the headlight and stays. I ordered them from Banzai Honda and we installed them.

I have left the red "skins" on the rest of the bike...GSF currently prefers the black skins, so I'll make a point of 'refurbing' them (the black tank has a small scratch that needs repainting, and it needs to be resealed as well) before he begins riding the bike.
