Rear end for a Gen 3

OK... I'm back....

Didnt get to ride at all as I have been on Paternity leave for the past 3 months helping to take care of my most awesome little boy.

Anyhow, I noticed my rear end , plastics only falling apart near my tail light . I have tried to repair this on many occasions and it never seems to hold.

Just wondering if anyone knew a mod or where to get the complete rear fairings for a 3rd gen VFR without going to the dealer.

Thanks

 

I would try and use fiberglass mesh with resin. I used this stuff on a project of mine to repair a cracked front fairing and side panels with this stuff and it held up great. I am riding two years on the repairs and it is still holding strong.

I have rear plastics for a Gen 3 if interested...red not perfect

 

1. There is a thread somewhere about gluing it into 1 piece, smoothing it out and repainting.

2. But a 1 piece fibeglass rear from Airtech.

I also welded it with ABS plastic rods and a heat gun but I never thought of welding it together?

I WILL GIVE IT A TRY!!!

THANKS

 

How did you plastic weld your fairings. Did you use a heat-gun or a thing that looks like a solder iron? Did you use ABS rods?

 

I decided mine was too far gone and will purchase from Airtech.

Just can't be bothered to fix it. Its really in ratty shape and missing some plastic as well.

Just ordered one from Airtech, fibreglass and one piece.... Won't be transporting anyone, except for a sandwich anyways as this is my daily driver.

Looks like a quality product should get here before Christmas.

 

how bad is the rear?
I may be interested if the price is right..... after the new year that is...

 

oh...yeah forgot to look at his place of origin........canada to cali = mucho dinero

 

I'd give it to you for the cost of shipping if you really need it but, I dont think they are much use except to cut and replace already broken sections.

Let me know and I'll take some pics for you or not .

LOL... Free and the cheap SOB wants it for even less.

 

yeah I really don't need it ..I was gonna try and do a "project "over the winter break.... but I appreciate the offer. what I am looking for is a third gen rear fairing. to adapt to my 2nd gen...I like the tail light /turn signals... its not a "I need to do it right now project" just something I want to play around with...
