Hello again, long time - no see, In my random google searching the other night I came across a fairing maker in NSW that makes FZR fairings and cheap, might come in handy: http://fairingsolutions.com.au/index.php?osCsid=514d1aeb5388e94c70feb5bb0806a501
These guys have a New Zealand distribution office as well and also one in the UK. These fairings are made and painted in China so who really knows how soild and good looking they will be. Would be good for a spare set though, cheap as.
hey good peoples.............................and Dave <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> they use to have the fzr fairings on there but took them off. i emailed the guy and he said there was an issue with the manufacturers molds. Even so he still put an order through for me but said they would be listing the set on a different website (didn't say which one) with different terms and conditions. dont know why cos they didn't properly fit anyway. (see below for details) Price:price has increased to round $700NZ if memory serves me right. that's delivered to your door. you can order the set just plain with no paint and stickers which will be cheaper but i dont know if you can order individual fairings. still one of the cheapest options out there. Paint,stickers, clear coat: 9/10 very good just like new but paint comes off in flakes if you accidentally gouge it making me think its not as good quality as original paint. windscreen: Fine but it only comes in tinted. comes with fasteners. Heat resistance:ive been riding with my new fairings for bout 2 months now. the longest ive ridden is 390km in one go in 27Celcius temperatures. I have yet to do 100Km+ in 32-35Celcius weather but so far no complaints at all seems to go hard. Fairings:material thickness i estimated to be almost original thickness but thinner in places but definitely nothing to worry about. I dont know about the 2KR models but for the 3LN which is mine i got all fairings except 2 which were the skinny ones on either side of the fuel tank at the top of the main side fairings. i emailed the guy about them but got no reply. i just used my old ones cos there was nothing wrong with them so i didn't bother chasing him up. Fairing accuracy: 6/10 this category scored the lowest. the main side fairings, front mud guard and head light fairing were fine. is was the rear sides, tail light fairing and the small rectangle that's right behind your but that was the problem. more specifically how they joined to each other. if you want more details and pics let me know. just to be clear my bike has been in two small 25-30kph crashes by myself just slipping over and sliding. the rear fairings didnt even get any scratches on them and my original fairings still fit nicely without any need to flex or force them so im 96% ssure the rear sub frame isn't bent aaaaaand the guy did say the manufacturer had molding issues. Took me couple of hours extra but managed to get the buggers almost decent looking. just need couple different sized and profiled round and flat files and some drills to make the holes for the fasteners in the tabs. dont know why every other kit set is fine and they chose to screw up ours. please keep in mind this is only for this model. ive read plenty of other reviews of other kit sets from this company which have gotten very good reviews. well thats my rant for the night. keep safe out there watch out for the four wheeled demons. Go hard or Go home
Any photos? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
I am trying to get a set from overseas at the moment, abs, painted, delivered to my door for about $500, and acording to the supplier they can do any colour scheme you like. and have both models, photo's look good, but havent seen them in the flesh yet.
heres what they look like sorry i haven't cleaned them since i got them so a bit dirty and its over cast so you cant see them sparkle <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> sorry bout the paint on my seat. couldnt get the image thingy to work. it kept putting maaaaasssive pics on didnt know how to down size them. so im just putting urls i willl also point out were the fitting problems were on each pic. http://p1.bikepics.com/2012\01\28\bikepics-2339075-full.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2012\01\28\bikepics-2339076-full.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2012\01\28\bikepics-2339077-full.jpg this required filing to match the rounded profile. left hand side needed doing also http://p1.bikepics.com/2012\01\28\bikepics-2339079-full.jpg Left arrow: front bit kept sticking up wouldn't stay down. Right arrow: gap tapered and not flush. requires filing http://p1.bikepics.com/2012\01\28\bikepics-2339080-full.jpg side fairings needed to be forced together to close the gaps on both sides down http://p1.bikepics.com/2012\01\28\bikepics-2339081-full.jpg this required the most filing and time as you can see its tapered gap and not flush http://p1.bikepics.com/2012\01\28\bikepics-2339082-full.jpg
I have a full set of 2KR fairings for sale in the For Sale and Wanted pages. -> <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.fzr250.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3873">viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3873</a><!-- l -->
