Aftermarket Fairings?????????
- Thread starter Tufbusa
- Start date
well what i hear is that the paint on them look great but the problem is u will have to drill out the mounting holes cuz they are smaller than the stock holes.. just what i heard on another forum
not sure about the busa fairings but we just put a full set on a buddys cbr 1000rr. got them on ebay from "AUCTMARTS" in hong kong.only had to drill 1hole a tad bigger. they fit decent enough for the money. i'm still waiting for my carbon fiber set from MDI. suppose to be here on wednesday
lease:.......can't wait!!!!

well i know of 2 people who got from auctmarts and both had to drill there holes out on the busa
Thanks for the comments guys! I don't think drilling out a hole or two would be unexpected. Most all race plastics have to be drilled as well. As long as the fit is decent it's probably worth the $$.
Inkman, is the Hong Kong plastics about the same thickness as the OEM? Do you think it's heavier?

I with you tuf...to hafta enlarge a hole or two..
is to be EXPECTED.
over the years i've also seen many providers of aftermarket fairings and plastics get drilled (pun intended) out of biz on the net due to...
1. The mechanically declined private installer.
2. then gen pop not realizing it's almost impossible to drill a pattern that fits the bike-to-bike tolerances of production bikes let alone the 2nd owner of a bike that may have sustained a slightly skewed frame geometry from light drop on the 1st owners part...and then the provider of said products takes it on the chin with ranting posts on the net with under-tail kits seemingly leading the pack as the most biotched about product...and why?...simple....they sell a shidload more of'em!
he11...i remember the day when they advertised fit'em up yerself.."NO PRE-DRILLED HOLES" on aftermarket fairings (especially race plastics)...
he11...when i was 16?...i bought a cafe kit 1/2 paid for and ordered by a guy with a Kawi 500 Triple MachIII....then totaled his bike before it arrived...i got it for a song and adapted it to my honda CB360T with honda factory power-roll bigbore/cam kit (still slow as hell though
)...the tank, seatpad and ductail where all one piece plastic and came with a sweet round healight bikini/caf'e fairing...had ta make a few brackets here and there to adapt things and all held together with rubber washers and slot head screws but..i was the shizzle at my HS motorcycle parking lot!

Auctmart stuff needs different bolts. We put a kit on a local guy's bike..never drilled a single hole.

I agree. Still my favorite stock paintjob.
You're kiddin' right?
Everyone knows that the '05 black/silver is the coolest color combo EVAR!
Jeez.....

not heavier but similar for sure.for the money, tough to beat, they went on a track bike. seemed like a waste to leave perfect stock plastics on it. besides, the new set came with a funky paintjob!! if you don't expect a show quality set, i think you'll be more than happy.
