| 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 | |

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'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. |

, 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 | ||

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.

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.

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.

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 Last edited by Para045; 12-01-2008 at 1:43 AM. | ||

Now the trick to these fairings is to buy the aftermarket fairing and srceen bolt sets off Jaws and you well have no problems.the standard bolts on the bike are set to wide and the china fairings are half the thickness of the honda ones.Also you need to re-use the clips of your old fairing set on the new fairings as these are not supplied with the china sets. Cheap at twice the price IMO | |

Thanks Drifter, Good to see your happy with them, and the additional info about the bolts and pins, Brian.

Thanks mate, they look the goods. Thanks also for the quick reply. How do you find they compare with the originals? Are they solidly built or flimsy? And how do you find the paint quality? Many thanks for your assistance. Sorry to be a pain. Cheers, Eddie.

| Re: Where can I find a Fairing????
Eddie when I took the original honda fairings off I could not get over how flimsy they were and I think both sets would be as flimsy as each other.the plastic wields on the china set look weak but on saying that mine are holding up.The honda set is twice as heavy and thick as the china set and the paint work on the china set is good but I see I have a few white spots on the bottom fairings from stone chips,,easy fix. Now the flames on my fairings are actually stickers and not painted on,hence why so many sets the same on ebay the same. You have to look real close to see the edges and they protect the paint well(No stone chips where the stickers are.) End result I love it and if I drop my bike it is no great cost to buy another set or put the honda ones back on. Cheers..Kim |
