I have never seen another '51 R51/3 in person other than pictures and a few yourtube videos. Well, nothing is ever in HD and then I found (CAUTION NSFW LINK) this (CAUTION NSFW LINK)

Wow I never knew there was a video of that photo shoot. Thanks for posting. I once sent the photos from this same shoot to a friend and his wife intercepted the email and decided that I was a pervert. Actually she always knew I was a pervert and the photos were far more tasteful than most pictures guys email each other! Anyway, long story short, I lost my lifelong friend over that girl on the R51/3, because he chose to side with his wife and stop talking to me. You know what? That is his problem, not mine, and I still love the female form especially on a beautiful BMW motorcycle!

I have a Wixom fairing, but the lowers are more conventional looking than that. They have the bulges and cutouts for the cylinders, but the "batwing" at the top is missing.
I've intalled the upper section for trips before, it's only held on by three bolts, but never installed the lowers.
