fiberglass fairings?

Why does no one make aftermarket bodywork for 5th gen vfrs? when I bought this bike the first thing I planned to do was order some fibergass fairings to drop some weight off the bike (the only downside I have found is that the bike is heavy) My last bike was a gsxr that I outfitted with fairings from a company called sharkskins, it dropped 8 lbs off the bike and being a 2 peice uppper/lower set up made tune ups and engine work a breese. If anyone knows somewhere to get something similar please post it!

thank you so much safetypro10!

 

Anyone know the conversion rate? Those double headlamps on my 87 would look look cool.

 

reg 71 my pc has been trying to sell me spyware for hours because of this site i think. donnt log on to it if you are unshure

 

I am still looking for a local (US) DEALER for these with no luck if anyone knows where to find them or a similar product please post it!

 

I had no issues on thier site ......

 

Any French members able to check it out for us?

 

The conversion rate is 1.462 in favor of the euro. Acomplete set not counting a hugger and subframe pan will cost $950 plus shipping. 20% more if you want it to be 100% fibergass. All parts are not pre drilled but they are marked for drilling. I think its worth it if the quality is the same as SHARKSKINS. Just under $1200 for a full new set, drop 8 to 10 lbs up high and easy to repair. I am going to try to find someone that can vouch for them on the quality aspect and if everything checks out make the purchase. I will let everyone know about the outcome in a month or two. If anyone hasbought thes or dealt with this Co. please let me know.

 

Thanks Steven!! arty2:

 

airtech now has 5th gen fairings. fiberglass? Motorcycle fairings, bodywork, fairing, seat, lower, fender, race tail, race body, rear hugger, fuel tank, air box, custom fairing and cafe racer;.

 

Thurn makes them for the 5th gen. Its a German company so I hope you have a trans, but I have their bodywork on my 4th gen and love it.

 

I just got my plastics from Nice Cycle and will be posting a thread on the quality and fitment of the plastics next week.

Just bought them and they make them to order so it takes 2 weeks to get them... good luck

 

airtech stuff is made of fiberglass, as their website faq section explains. It appears they take pride in their craftmanship and have been in the business a long time.
