Custom 5th gen fairings!

I was going to wait and post these pics when the bike was complete but I could not resist the urge. Other than another coat of filler primer and some fine sanding they are ready for paint. I plan to be done with my VFR project in a month or so and I cant wait to hit the road again. Let me know what you think, 5th gen fairings grafted with 600RR lowers!

 

tight!!!

 

I like the belly pan look.

 

I don't know, I kinda think they look a little hokey but hey what ever. I think if I were you I would just sell 'em or trade 'em off and go back to stock. As a matter of fact I think I have a stock set I don't need and I could trade you out or something, just trying to help out a brother and all.....:thumbsup: :biggrin:

All kidding aside, it looks like you did a very nice job of tying them together. I'm looking forward to seeing 'em painted and installed, don't forget to post up those pics!

 

thanks! Spare time permitting I should be painting them in the next week or two and waiting for some mounting hardware from the stealership. Ill post pics of how they look mounted on the bike after I have some colour on them! Mounted them up last night and everything seems to line up as I expected. IM STOKED!!

 

love it. Kind reminds me of the fairing on the Supercharged bike done by A&Aperf.

 

Very similar, I hate to be a copycat but I talked to toro and found out what he used to make his fairings. I made some different cuts and brought it up a little in the rear to my liking. The bike will end up looking very similar to his other than I plan to keep it red.

 

Here they are mounted![/ATTACH]

 

Steven, really nice job, M-D mentioned that your fairing mod. covered up most of the header tubing on the right side,did you make any provisions for reflecting the heat from the fairing,it gets pretty toasty in that area and I wouldnt want to see your work go to ruin! eddie

 

Yes, after paint I plan on reflective heat tape inside. I have decent clearence from the header but I think it is still to close to not have protection from the radient heat. Thanks!

 

I think I like it. will know more once it's painted & installed, of course.
are you going to de-dumbo? that's on the on the front fairing, right?
Graphix or leave it blank?

also....is that a Nikon Charger in the first picture?

 

wow im really starting to like it now that im seeing what you actually did. reminds me of my sixth gen a little. its gonna look very clean and modern looking. could be a 5.5 gen... or mabey a cbr800... what ever you call it i like it. cant wait to see it with paint!

 

those look freaking sweet

 

I have been trying to decide weather or not to de-dumbo? This is a built on a buget bike and I am trying to keep the cost down as much as possible but I think the blinkers have to go! If any of you have any sugestions for small flush mounts with pics I would love to see them! And yes that is a battery from my drill proping the rear up untill I get the proper hardware )
