    Outstanding, expect a bit of a lead time this time of year. Airtech makes these to order. Possibly up to 2-3 months if I had to guess.

    I just called them back to add an CBR600F2 front fender to my order. They won't promise anything, but they're going to do their best to help me out. Dutch said it's about 4 weeks lead time at the moment.

    My Airtech upper fairing came in about a week after it was shipped. Looks like minimal, if any, bodywork will be required. The side/lowers came in last week along with a front fender after spending some time at customs. Top quality work so far. Still waiting for the solo tail...hoping to get it this coming week. I just fit them to the bike today and took a couple photos. If anyone wants a different view, just let me know.

    I've been thinking about this route but like the naked bike look too. Hard to decide but I have time. I did some repairs on my front fairing in the meantime but love how clean that looks, I just need to get my hands on a good straight stay for it. You bought a 1 piece rear? Do you still have a use for the rear seat cowl cover??? :)

    Yes, I picked a second seat cowl a couple months ago( you can see both above the bike in the last photo). It's not mint by any means, but if I got my money back for it, I'd let it go. Hit me off line if you're interested @ timv840 at Gmail dot com

    No! It's going on the track. I have it's twin for the street with stock bodywork and CBR F2 wheels & suspension...except a lot of it has been transferred over to the race bike for now. I have three weeks before it's first track day...

    Today, the new solo tail came in! Just like the other pieces, it looks great. Airtech make quality products. I have not decided how I'm going to mount this solo tail piece yet. First I cut the FG piece that ties the two side pieces so they don't flop around during shipping. Then I removed the two screws on the outsides of the seat where the seat cover used to bolt on, and slipped the seat inside the new fairing and threw it on the bike to take a few photos. It's a REALLY tight fit. I don't have the inner fender in place, so I'm able to pull down on the back of the seat to lock it into the rear latch. The front side pieces have edges built in to tuck under the sides of the seat, so I can't just pop the rear fairing on after the seat is latched. Trimming those parts that tuck under the seat may be the easiest way to assemble it. Here are the photos...pardon the mess...

    Messy garage = Happy man cave!

    Looks good, I'm thinking more and more about the full fairing look and no the naked bike now. Keep us posted - Looks great though!

    So here she is at Mosport, ready for practice and the endurance race this afternoon. Yesterday's trackday went reasonably well. Some jetting issues that I really don't want to mess with. Going to try race gas this am. Will post onboard vids when I can.

    Where did you get that chain guard?
    It looks to be better than the original.

    I made the chain guard. Kind of patterned off the OEM unit. I started with a cardboard template, then transfered it over to one of those stainless steel kick plates they stick on the bottom of doors. I have a box-n-pan metal brake, and it bent up quite easily.
