Fitting fairings

Post by seb421 »

well started to fit the fairings hers the insides

here is the it on,

Need to get this either painted red, or vinyl wrapped red to flow with the rear, i think...

only issues i'm having is with the supplied screen its a bit to large needs the holes moving on it, not a fan of the true black screen so going to get a dark smoke one.

other issue is with the left side faring, the top mount is slightly off, i think this is because the mount is not where it should be due to multiple down's on the left side of the years

other than that its been fair straight forward

now what to do with the tank? use the orange vinyl wrap and black wing stripes, or a black tank with orange stripes??

not mounted the bottom bit yet to show but that's good too...

Not in a mad rush will probably finish it off at the weekend, but just wanted show some progress so far.

Looks good, but can you see the overspray on the inside of the faring when you are sat on the bike?

I also spot the carbon fame guards..nice :thumbup:

A yellow 16l tank would look great on this, and really bring out the best for this colour scheme.


:mrgreen:
Did I mention I happen to have a spare one for sale?

Looks good. How does the paintwork compare to original? Much in the way of orange peel?

Or white?
Or yellow?


Are the stickers applied over pint and lacquer, or is the lacquer over the stickers?

Or is it all sprayed/airbrushed, even logos?
