Lets say I wanted to buy a aluminum fairing for a CB350, who makes one and what are they costing today?
 
1.) Roc City (http://www.roccitycafe.com/store.php) or Retro Moto (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Retro-Moto/384008574993387)

2.) If you have to ask then you can't afford it. :p
 
Evan Wilcox is the name uttered with reverence when discussing Alloy Fairings.


And yes, as mentioned, if you have to ask you can't afford it...
 
Have you seen the one Junior built? It's on the top of your screen right now and looks mighty slick imo. Shoot him a message and maybe he can proto something for you.
 
I have an Evan Wilcox aluminum tank and wouldn't buy another one. Go with Retro or Roc City and you won't be disappointed.

call junior ^
 
what part of the country are you in? Something like a fairing, i'd guess, would need to be fitted to the bike.

Don't know if you're into the total aluminum fairing experience or just want the look, but one of my customers got his Honda CR750 replica fairing I built him aluminum coated by a proprietory aerospace process and then polished it up.
He's about 450 miles away so I haven't seen the bike close up and personal - but in the photos it looks damned good.
I gather it wasn't cheap but probably a good deal cheaper than beaten aluminium...
PM me if you want me to hook you up with him.

An aluminum hand made fairing would, I'm sure, cost a kings ransom. Fiberglass makes a whole lot more sense. Both financially and for ease of manufacture. Making a mould and laying up glass is not that hard. But pounding a fairing from a sheet of aluminum takes a lot of skill and knowledge of the material. But the result can be spectacular.

Unfortunately my skill level is pretty low. Glass is my limit.
