fairings
I would like any opinions on the best way to go on the wheel pant and fairing decision.
I'm interested in speed, good looks and ease of installation.
Also, is there any reason to put wood on the aft side of the gear legs?
TIA,
Jim Stone

Jim, I challenge my pants and fairings with off road use! I use team rocket leg
fairings over the legs. I wrapped the legs with electricians bundling tape, no
wood. Pants are Vans pressure recovery over 380x150x5 tires. 4 inch height at
rear of tire in level flight attitude . Works well for me, good luck!

Great choice, I am familiar with that set up and was wondering if there is anything
else out there worth considering.

Just did mine the standard way with wooden slats on the aft side and
fiberglass wrapping. Sure seems less flexible than the bare gear legs, but
I'm told my gear "walk" a little at taxing speeds some times. I've never
seen it or felt it though...
"Balanced" my wheel pants with steel shot in the nose of the front half
(glassed it in, balancing the front and back wheel pants around the bolt
axis.
Don't think that's much different from anyone else, though...
