fiberglass fairings?

steven113 · 09-15-2008, 03:11 PM

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!

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

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.
