Ok in May I started talking about a chin spoiler/fairing designed and made by a local guy. Here is the result, he will trim and provide mounting hardware for half the price of the one available overseas. Also for the racers he has no issues making it longer for race specs. The angle is designed to fit a stock pipe, but I had mine cut short to fit with my drummer. They do not come painted!

The guy that made it's website http://rasmoto.blogspot.com/

I am in no way affiliated with this guy or his website. I am just trying to provide badwebers with a good product. This guy is real stand up! I went to his garage twice in the process.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't like how it points up. It makes the rear of the chin fairing and the front of the muffler look like they're sagging. If the fairing was parallel with the ground it'd look good, and if it went back further it'd be great.

But really who cares what I think. It's your bike, and as long as you dig it that's all that matters.

I have to agree with Badlionsfan. The bottom of the foil needs to be parallel to the ground. That means the top section of the front needs to be a little taller so the foil can drop and not leave a gap under the oil cooler. I would say it's close, but not there yet.

I think part of the sag look is my poor picture taking. I have a pic on my Facebook that does not look like any of the above, and of course I didn't notice until you said something. I will work on getting another pic on. The other issue was my drummer, the one he mocked up for this was around a stock can and follows the bottom of the stock pipe perfectly.

Looks like it might hit the tire if you break hard and hit a small bump at the same time.

There is plenty of clearance, I have had my front wheel 12oclock and back down with no issues. Also have been hard enough on the brakes to bring the rear wheel up.

I think that it would look much better if the chin was a bit higher in the rear and elongated to cover at least half of the exhaust. Also, given that the exhaust angles up in towards the rear of the bike, it gives the broken or sagging look that some have spoken about. However, all in all, I'd like the look given a few changes that would fit my taste a bit more. But, those are my tastes and it is your bike so, it makes no difference what I do and don't like on your bike.
