Exactly what I wanted to see. I finally understand your trimming, which I did not notice at first. That really helps.
@Charlie: nice brackets! Gerty looks very clean
The hottest part of the summer will be past by the time I get her going, so I'll maybe appreciate the warm design. I'm at 6,000 ft in Idaho. I will probably love the design LOL Maybe I need the belly too

Any tips or links on fairing repair, painting etc appreciated.

After looking at a lot of K100s in every form, I'm thinking polish tank to bare aluminum, paint fairing and front fender black, do custom black side covers (you see all sorts of these on the conversions), then pull off the tail rack and do the tailcone black, possibly reshaped on top back edge with a small spoiler.
I was also thinking of looking into reshaping the original upper front, but I could save it, and just buy a Duc like cafe faring and some of Charlie's brackets. First I will get to know the original, and if I'm liking it a repaint would do

That rear fender under tail light is pretty huge. Might trim or pull it, and make a little one to hold the plate, then pull off blinkers and mount some small turn bulbs on the tail cone.
That might really clean up the bike for me, and I could turn my attention to a lithium battery and more minimal air intake.
