Whistler Posted August 4, 2012 #1 Posted August 4, 2012 Just wondering if anyone has taken there wiskers off the fairing and how does it look....?They really don't strike my fansey. and just where is my gas filter??? Ron
dacheedah Posted August 4, 2012 #2 Posted August 4, 2012 There are several threads on taking the eye brows off. The fuel filter is after your petcock and before the fuel pump: http://www.starmotorcycles.com/partviewer/?ls=star
Caveman Posted August 5, 2012 #3 Posted August 5, 2012 I took my "eyebrows" off. I like it alot better!
Squidley Posted August 5, 2012 #4 Posted August 5, 2012 1st thing I did when I bought my 1st G2, those eyebrows look like crap IMHO....
alwrmcusn Posted August 5, 2012 #5 Posted August 5, 2012 I removed the "eyebrows" from my venture about two weeks ago and this is what it looks like.
Royalstargazer Posted August 5, 2012 #6 Posted August 5, 2012 Took mine off when I had the bike painted. In fact I left all the emblems off except the one on the trunk. As far as the fuel filter, it is behind the cover under the seat next to the fuel pump. Not under the tank, like the dealer told me.
M61A1MECH Posted August 5, 2012 #7 Posted August 5, 2012 Fuel filter is under the seat on the left side of the battery box. It is a fair PIA to get to. It is held in by a rubber strap that is hooked on to a metal tab. Still have my eyebrows, I have read where folks have used fishing line or dental floss to get between the fairing and the eyebrow, just saw thru the double sided adhesive, and the remove any left over glue and wax the the affected area.
OutKast Posted August 5, 2012 #8 Posted August 5, 2012 I have removed the whiskers, the tank biib, all the emblems, the rotor covers, the fender ornamemts, and more from mine. Check pics in gallery.
Dano Posted August 5, 2012 #9 Posted August 5, 2012 BUT the '08 Grays look perty good with them on,,,,,
bongobobny Posted August 5, 2012 #10 Posted August 5, 2012 If you do remove them I might be interested in them for a different application if the price is right...
Squidley Posted August 5, 2012 #11 Posted August 5, 2012 BUT the '08 Grays look perty good with them on,,,,, You must have bumped your head pretty hard!
Kirby Posted August 5, 2012 #12 Posted August 5, 2012 I like mine too. I want people that I meet to not think I'm riding one of those "other bikes".
