[Tanx] Good news! Fairings!

I have a Corbin, it's pretty beat up.  I'd like to have a stocker more for
off road work. I'm also planning on sending the Corbin back to be recovered
and maybe have a passenger back rest installed so I would use the stocker
during that time.

I buy stuff from China, I just got a flasher relay from there for $5.
Shipping included.
