    hey, ive really been struggling to find any aftermarket or even 2nd hand fairings.. I am chasing the middle left & right as well as the front & windscreen.
    Considering how hard they are to find, I have been thinking of doing a bikini/naked conversion otherwise. Has anyone done this b4?
    I reckon it would look sweet with a modified front fairing & screen.....

    there is someone selling new(replica) one on ebay for $145 that's cheaper than second hand from wreckers.

    try finding plastics for a fzr 400 now there's a chalange. might turn mine into a street fighter i understand the headlight and turn signals but what do you do with the dash

    I bought one of these, awesome fairing. Fits fine.
    Comes with a full bolt kit, i ended up replacing all my bolts with the ones he supplied as he sent way too many.

    Get one. He making the front cowl mould as we speak.

    Any chance you could post a pic of the fairings? I found them on ebay a while ago, emailed the guy, but no response and no images. Did you have to get these painted as well?

    Anyone got a spare windscreen they would part with to fit a 2kr?

    Ill post a pic when i get home. Its white fiberglass. U can get black, i got white as my bike is white. He does write ur address all over it, but its getting painted anyway. He also send u instructions to sand and paint urself if u want too. Im having mine done professionally, only cause i know a guy.

    I did have to drill the main bolts holes larger to fit the rubbers in. And drill the very front cowl hole, as it was 7 mm out, I have told him and hes going to adjust the future ones.

    It has no broken bits and has no screen. It only needs a light sanding with wet and dry and painted in your colour of choice plus needs the matt black on the inside redone to hide the repair work.

    It was repaired and used on my bike for a short time while I repainted the replacement fibreglass moldings in the new colours. I could have saved myself $300 and used that one, as I first thought is wasn't worth repairing and it then took ages for the replacements to come.


    There are photos on this site here - it is the white one - PM me with an offer.
    Depending where you live postage may be expensive because of the size.
