I wasn't referring to the old fairings. I was referring to the new fairings.
Being that they have pin holes on both ends, I would have thought they gave you
more of an opportunity to "close up". They could be used in co-operation with
old fairings, or with bricks and plates, or by themselves. I think they provide
a good option for rounded edges over long areas, fuel tanks, panelling and
more...
