Member Contributer mello dude Posted March 6, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 6, 2014 Was looking around the Airtech site and they are making plastics for a range of VFRs - 1st gen to 5th gen. RC30 & RC45, RCV750 too. - No experience with them, but its nice to have an alternative. http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RollinAgain Posted March 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 7, 2014 Airtech quality is mediocre at best. Thurn Motosports in Germany is much higher quality bodywork but it is also more expensive and would need to be shipped overseas. Rollin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MadScientist Posted March 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 7, 2014 +1, Had a friend order airtech stuff because the chinese stuff he ordered first didn't fit so well. Long story short, the airtechs went back because it was much more expensive than the chinese plastic and only fit marginally better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoxmole Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I got an Airtech fiberglass upper for my '86 VFR750. It was the track upper so I had to cut the headlight, making that my primary concern with fitment. When it was cut (scared the $h!t out of me, cutting up a $185 part) and painted it seemed fine to me. Of course, it was the only place I could find replacement pieces for an '86 at the time and that's the only time I've used them. My point? It was the only part I could find at the time and it worked for me. Your results may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Ultimatevfr Posted March 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 7, 2014 I am a painter with 23 yrs of experience, I won't touch airtec ! They do have some hard to find racing pieces, and might be worth it to a racing restorer who has no other choice. Build quality is crap, fit and finish is crap. Repair what you have or save up and buy OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
