Anyone Know where i can get a decent set of Plastics for my '87 VFR700?
A Good Price would be great too!

Hello:

There is AirTech:
VFR750 1986-88, VFR 750 fairings, bodywork, fairing, upper, lower, mid, seat side, race, street, fender, tail, undertail, tank

Maier used to make them too, but I've not heard great things about the fitment. I know one guy, and one guy ONLY, who installed them and he said it was a pain in the butt.

I just checked, and the Maier home page states that the product is sold out, but here it is anyway:
Maier USA

There is also this European company, Poly 26:
Translated version of http://www.poly26.com/

And there is this outfit in New Zealand, Just Fairings:
VF 700/750 INTERCEPTOR [86-87] - $700.00 : Just Fairings!

The other alternative is to "camp out" on eBay.

Check Order Honda Parts,Kawasaki Parts,KTM Parts,Polaris Parts,Suzuki Parts,Yamaha Parts online. they may still have original panels. They are the cheapest I've found for all OEM parts that are available.

They only make the upper and the lowers...

[heymike]

I picked up lowers from Maier a few months ago. They had them on sale and I paid $120 for both of them. I'm not sure if they still have any, but it is worth a look.

I have spent a ton of time repairing the ones that i have and fortunatley AirTECH has the front upper and lower pieces!! those are the ones that have the most epoxy on them.
Thanks for the link to the web site!

another option would be to watch ebay for VFRchuck. He makes fiberglass
replacements. Both lowers for about $210 shipped IIRC. Still less than the
$270 each for OEM from service honda (when they're available).

i picked up a set for spares and was completely satisfied with the quality.

[annarko]

Yeah Ive seen his stuff on Ebay a couple times although the stuff that has been up were the race fairings with the cut outs for the round headlights. it did look like good quality from the pictures that he had on the page though...were the ones that you got stock looking?

[supertex]

found this piece today. Not a lot but it could help. Let me know if you try it. I'd like to know how it fits. http://www.1cruiser.com/sa/cart/detail.asp?pg={22BCE20D-6AC9-4268-A7FA-466B3B1CA06E}

Sorry, didn't post link properly. Never posted links before. How do you make them clickable?

The lowers apear to be the same, but i think he offers two versions of the upper. OEM and race. He makes a tail section but it incorporates the side
panels with the tail making a rather large 1 piece that I'm not fond of. It just makes more work to get to the battery/electrics etc.

He also makes the inner fairing panels, which are really nice,... a windscreen
and front fender, and a bunch of other stuff for the VFR. do a search for Cobalt Racing,... and that's VFRchuck.

As far as I know, he only sells on ebay, and the parts are made to order so it takes awhile toactually get the parts once you buy it.

I assume fittment would all depend on how well you line up and drill the holes
since they do not come pre-drilled

[annarko]

yeah i think i may end up ordering the stuff from him his prices seem to be pretty good and like i said before they look like they are made well... it would be really cool to make a set of carbon fiber fairings though... i guess ill have to start playing with carbon fiber again!!


BTW heres the pics of the fairings before and after i fixed and painted them... i lost the lower left piece when i was riding home from work so i had to repair it

what do you guys think of the change?

[supertex]

Is that the color, or it just primered?

Thats the color I was actually thinking for my electric vfr conversion... something a little more "green"... great paint job, really looks slick.

Anyone think I could get some early 90's fairings to fit my '87 700? And besides the reserve switch how different do you think the tank would be?

not sure, but have you looked into the 88-89 european version of the VFR?
those parts would probably bolt right up. tail and side panels are similiar, but different front/lower combinations and colors. I always thought the 89 black and gold was a nice combination

[supertex]

Have you seen any pieces around? The reason I was wondering about those was because of availability. The rear I might go as far to modify to fit a modern subframe and using less bulky pieces. I love the thinness of the new pieces like the Tyga tail for the vfr400.

you really should go with Cobalt Racing (aka Chuck Crites, aka VFRChuck, etc). he's the only person who still makes all of the bodywork for the 86-89 vfr's, and by far sells the best quality parts (as well as making the only aftermarket/race style bodywork that i know of). My bike has a lot of his work on it (tail, upper, CF windscreen). look around the first & second gen forums and youre sure to find his contact info

[annarko]

That color i have is actually an indutrial epoxy primer that i got from work. its semi-metallic but until i get a new set of fairings thats the color im going to use. almost every fairing has cracks in it... i did a lot of patch work with .020 strips of aluminum and epoxy especially on the left lower piece when it caught some wind and flew off while i was riding.(it was broken when i bought the bike...only had about half the screws in it)

[supertex]

In that case it looks fantastic!
