Hey Jim, I went and measured and forgot to post a few days ago. I believe 1.75” was what I measured. I’m not at home nowOriginally Posted by jiott

I also just bought the jury strut fairings from Lowell Fitt and they are amazing.

Re: Stabilizer Strut Fairings
Attached are some pictures of another way to build strut fairings.
I 3D printed a mold the shape of the fairing. Next I vacuum bagged carbon fiber over the mold. Then printed ribs that fit over the struts. They slide right over the struts. I picked up approximately 1.5mph at 70% power and approximately 3 mph at 85% power.

They look great. Impressive!
Scott - Could you break down the costs of doing what you did please and what the final weight was?
