Fairing Swap?


VFRnewrider

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone had seen or know of any common fairings swaps people might do on a VFR800 ?

My favourite looking bike on earth is the VTR 1000 SP2 
i want to update the look of my VFR into something more sporty.

any push in the right direction is helped!

(e.g mount SP-2 fairings on a VFR )

Love that Castrol livery for the SP-2 (RC-51 here in the states)!

 

Rather than actually change out the fairing, maybe try paint and stickers, applied to your current VFR bodywork--or cheap duplicates. Modifying one bike's plastic to fit another model sounds like a nightmare. The RC-51 is shaped quite differently than the VFR, and has different mounting points, etc.

With enough commitment and perseverance, anyting is possible. ....

Painting the  800's panels will -for me- be 

"meh.. .wannabee"

"close but no cigar"

Chinese panels are quite cheap; I bought a (2nd hand) set in OEM livery and a decal set. A rattlecan with "Fallschirmjäger Grün" paint did the job under the seat.

Chinese fairing get bad press online; I doubt if all "experts" have actually done serious miles or speeds with them...
