upper fairing question
1 - 20 of 22 Posts
I'm interested in this, too. As for me, I'm looking for an endurance upper fairing, something with a light-weight light that will keep me street-legal yet be easy to cover up for track days. Google is NOT your friend. 
My fall back plan if I can't find one is to just put on the race bodywork and buy some driving light from auto zone or something and attach to the upper fairing where I can easily remove it for track duty.
Of course the headlight cover is also an option. Will those cover the hole if you take the light out or does the light have to stay in for it to mount to the fairing? And anyone know where to get one for the '05+ bikes color-matched?

Wish I had some pictures of my buddies bike.
He kept his race glass on and just mounted some slick oval lights from Pepboys. He reinforced the back and bottom with some aluminum brackets. He never did any riding at night and just wanted to pass state laws. Worked well for like $30. When we did a track day he would just take the lights off.

darn that sucks man. I am hopefully picking up my forks from 2K tomorrow (I dinged a slider pretty good). and I got rear sets from Kurt waiting on a muffler from someone on here...
You don't happen to have a spare right side can i could get cheap or borrow till i get my muffler? Otherwise I will run to Sportwheels in Jordan to rummage through thier junk exhaust to find a savable can. I will need one that is quieter than my MotoGP style can for longer trips anyways...

I'd love to find some vinyl headlight covers, that match my upper fairing colors, that are perforated, or something, to let the lights do their business! Something I don't have to take off and look like part of the fairing when bike is off!
I've seen them on an RC before! Didn't get a chance to ask the guy where he got them though!

That would be of a LOT of interest to me. Is this your own design or did you buy it somewhere? Either way, I'm in the market.

Yes, this is my own design.
Got any for sale? Yes, I know I could build my own, and I will probably have to, but if I can buy it and save myself the time, frustration, and horrible workmanship I'd like to go that route.

I did this to mine after a bad lowside that badly scratch and crack my headlights. I change to racing farings and used the stock headlight. I can unscrew the clear cover and block it with another one for track days. I also change the wiring for a high beam and night ilumination is just fine. I took a lot of work but it can be done!

I have two uppers I might be willing to part with.... one has the left headlight glassed... the other has the right headlight glassed. Heres a pic of what they they look like.
Its the best shot I have at the moment. Its now black.... i can sand and primer if needed. The one with the left headlight glassed is sanded but needs a coat of primer.
