    Some ninny backed into my pristine 91 vfr750, and crunched the back left fairing. I can't find a replacement anywhere, and I'm wary of the Airtech stuff. My question is if a 94-97 rear fairing will fit, because there's a bunch of those on eBay. Thanks!

    Not easily as the seats are shaped differently. You'll most likely end up fixing your damaged bits as decent replacements are nearly impossible to find.

    The aftermarket farings from Thurn Motorsports are much better quality but they aren't cheap and would need to be shipped from Germany..

    I have the same problem, but the drop was my own fault. So I also looked for replacement parts for my 1992 VFR. Used ones are so rare they are already sold before they are put online. You can buy aftermarket fairing for our VFR in Germany and the USA:

    http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/hondaz/VFR7501994-97.htm
    But they are very expensive and unpainted. So I chose to glue my fairings, fill holes and scratches with donor plastic, and then paint them myself.

    I'm currently busy in the filling step. I use lego blocks as a donor material and dissolve them in acetone. Then I put them on the fairing, if needed I use play-doh as a mall. When the acetone evaporates the lego becomes as hard as the fairing, and glued to it.

    good luck,
