Is it possible to put a X1 chin fairing on a S3T without a lot of work??? | ||
| Jramsey |
Yep,I have one on mine. You will need the hardware kit or do as I did an make up your own. | ||

I have standard X1 mount kit but not sure how to address the shift linkage bolt on my S3T ? Any advise would be great! | ||

You bet! I bought a yellow one on ebay years ago, had it painted to match, and I think it really completes the look of the bike. I can't remember exactly the brackets I used, but I drilled a hole to clear the 2002-style shift linkage I have on my S3. Pretty easy installation as I recall. (I have pics but too large to upload) | ||

Another try, left side view...  | ||

And the right side... I haven't seen that many, so my bike is a little unique. Just a little less after you do yours!  | ||

I now see where I have to drill out the hole for the linkage but a little hesitant since my chin is carbon fiber but dont think there is anyway around it !!!! | ||

Yep, my fairing was plastic, only that one hole needed for the pivot shaft. With carbon, I'd use blue tape on both sides, perhaps drill a little small and use a dremel for final shaping to avoid cracks? I used the stock X1 brackets I think. | ||

Rick, what air cleaner are you running? | ||
| Brinnutz |
Isn't that a Bartel's Air Cleaner without the outer cover? I'll have to check the garage to be sure... | ||
| Guell |
yea it is, the outer covers liked to fly off the bike | ||

I bought the carbon air cleaner perhaps 6 years ago from American Sport Bike. It came with a K&N element. I liked the looks and thought it more waterproof than the open K&N, ie Forcewinder types. The outer cover is held on by Velcro strips; it has held securely (so far!) but it bumped my knee. I have since replaced it (looks better) and I just deal with the knee clearance. | ||

Not to hijack the thread, but can anyone post a pic of the Bartel's with the cover? |
