	I don't suppose anybody happens to have a picture of the fairing at all do they?

	There is a picture here in (Clive Tasker's?) albums: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anglepoise/5628523736/in/set-72157626522696186 Also some good shots in the Laid Back Cyclist #103 or 4? Take care, Barry ;-)

	Not sure that's the one he's selling Barry - too many 'a's. Edited by GeoffBird - 27 July 2011 at 1:33pm

	Thanks Bazz, I'll have to see if I can arrange a test fitting at Scunthorpe. I don't suppose anybody knows if Mr Tigwell is attending at Lancaster / Preston do they? I'd rather talk in person than on the phone, poor hearing and the inability to lipread makes it all a bit of a mission.

	Not enough 'a's . This is the Cuckoo Raaa, but I can't recall seeing it with a tail-fairing, so you could be right Paul and the ad above is a typo? Edited by GeoffBird - 27 July 2011 at 2:26pm

	The Raaa (lowracer as pictured by Geoff) has appeared a few times with a tail fairing. I suspect Tiggers has been having too much fun racing the likes of NeilF bare-naked to be wanting to continue using it.

	Hmm, a mystery to be cleared up this weekend then. Either way if the fairing won't work with the Rapto then it's a no go. I imagine I should be able to modify it though.

	I think you will find that Dave is selling the Silver Tail Fairing as shown in the picture I linked to. I think he likes the Naked feeling that Adrian mentioned, even though the fairing gave an extra 3.5% increase in speed, I guess it also increases the hassle factor travelling by train too; unless you have a third party to deliver the fairing to the races. Take care, Barry ;-) Edited by bazz - 28 July 2011 at 12:31pm
