Where can I find a Fairing????

Hit some sand on the road and now I need a new fairing. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a replacement fairing?

Thanks Jude

Re: Where can I find a Fairing????

I'm looking at a change in colour for my girl but have heard/read that these fairings from Ebay arent a perfect fit. Has anyone here had any experience with them ?? The seller certainly has some really good looking colours in his range.

I was talking to another member on here about these not long ago, here is his response

If they are the eBay ones how was the fit and finish?

The fit on the fairings was alright, I had to re drill a lot of the holes because of the amount of paint and lacquer they used closed a lot of the holes up some.
bolted everything loosely together until I got the fit right then tightened everything up, just waiting on the newly painted tank to come back to try it all out on the highway.You will have to use the clips off your old fairings and a couple extra plastic clips but I had no problems at all.

The only other alternative is to get them plastic welded and respray with new decals
Will have to send them an email and query how close the paint match is on the TITANIUM looking ones
I am guessing they are made on the FI bikes pattern so there would need to be some fiddling to get the front vent grill etc to mount up correctly
For the price of those I could get maybe the ducktail and decals OEM new
Thanks,
Craig.

I are more than happy with the paint job and I guess the only other question that needs answering is the type of ABS plastic they use now days.
The old fairings that come out of china 10 years ago was too stiff and with vibration of the bikes it cracked a lot after a few years but after handling this set and talking with 4 others that brought from the same guy on eBay every one is happy so far.
I brought mine and got it home for under $900 Kiwi.
I would not waste my money fixing the old fairings, the cost to bring them back to new you could buy 2 sets off eBay,,my opinion,Cheers

Good to hear they should fit the carbed BB's without too much drama
I am thinking the same about the old fairings as by the time I get them repaired and resprayed it would be more expensive than these eBay fairings although a lot cheaper than new OEM

I'm not sure if this one has been included yet.

http://www.nicecycle.com/catalog.php?category=Honda%20CBR1100XX%20Blackbird

I've never done business with them. In a previous thread here someone mentioned these folks. Not sure if they are any good or if they were included in what Para045 mentioned.

Hello,
Does any one know what year body work will fit what bike?
Does a 97 body work fit on a 2000?
Thanks

Thanks for the information.

I'm interested to know how the Flame job turnded out. I saw those too. I'm thinking I want to stay traditionsl.

I guess my next questions is..... Did anyone have any difficulty putting the new one them selves? I noticed on the different sites that I have been too they recomend a professional take car of that part. How did it go for you?

I was looking at a site on here, that had a link to, they had a complete brand new, full set of fairings for XX for $490-00 US plus $300 US postage, Takes about three weeks for delivery, they actually make them. comes unpainted but they say they are ready for any type of paint to be applied. I think they came out of Hong Kong.
Hope this helps,
Brian.

Funny I love the TITANIUM as apart from it being the fastest colour over here in Aus it is quite rare, plenty of slow Blech ones , Blues and Reds and the Iron Nail Silver on the later bikes .
The Ti paint was only available on the 97-98 carbed BB's and even then wasn't common (too fast I guess )

As for your question, all the panels will fit all years apart from the little "chin" panel below the radiator behind the wheel and the 99-07 nose cowls are externally the same but slightly different internally because of the "Ram Air" ducts on the FI bikes Apparently you can get them to fit with a bit of fiddling

Swapping OEM fairings is pretty easy, as in my earlier post Drifter had a bit of fiddling with the Hong Kong ones but no major drama's

Re: Where can I find a Fairing????

moto777.com
they are in kowloon, Hong kong.
Para 045 has the right place.
No idea how well they fit, but if you read their comments, they do state that you might need to drill out some of the holes a bit bigger,
Brian.

Re: Where can I find a Fairing????

Thanks for the info guys. I'm certainly going to look into it. I'd like a spare set as well. Mine are stone chipped as all of ours are I suppose to some extent. I'm thinking of a repsray and getting one of Metzi's full fairing covers and/or a new set of these unpainted fairings and just keeping them in the shed. At least if they come unpainted I can decide later what colour I want and when I'll put them on the bike. I'll never be getting rid of her so resale isnt a big thing for me to be thinking about just yet. Cheers and thanks again.

Re: Where can I find a Fairing????

Just checked out nicecycle.com I'd say I will be going with them when I make a decision. Their stuff looks the goods. I will check the others out though just to be sure.

They all seem to be pretty much the same pictures just different "watermarks" Yet the NiceCycle ones are $889 (inc shipping), the Mung88(Moto777) are $449+ ($228 shipping) -Total = $677 and the Bliss Star are $499+ ($225 shipping) - Total = $724
Quite a variation in prices for what seems the same stuff
