My homemade full fairing project

[mr95gst]

So I have been wanting a full fairing for my bike, but I didn't like the idea of pay hundreds of dollars for one just to cut up and try to make it fit. I'm not sure how this will turn out but I figured I'd give it a shot. This is what I got so far.

Pretty awesome man! Keep at it.

Anyone else on the site make their own fairing? I'd like to see pictures of what others have made.

I have not made much progress recently. For some reason I told my wife I would install hardwood floors... Its taking up a lot of my free time. I have put down a couple layers of fiberglass. I still need to do some reinforcing and then I will be able to begin cleaning up the outside. Here are a few pictures I took a couple weeks ago.

Looking good so far! I will be interested to see how things turn out. Might give it a try myself. Greg

Looks good, how are you planning on attaching it?

 

[mr95gst]

Well, the attachment method is still up in the air. I was planning on keeping all the attachments inside to keep it clean, but I think I will end up with domed bolts from the outside. The sides will be easy enough but trying to support the front will be difficult with the fork pivoting inside. I am open to any and all suggestions. Especially ones with pictures!

Search "fairing stay" or "fairing brackets" on EBay. . I'd bet something factory could be easily modified to work.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

And I thought my seat cowl was hard...looking good!

This is incredibly bad ass.

Wow might have to try this!

 

[HerrDeacon]

That is very cool, nice work. I'm planning on doing the same thing with my 350 so I'll be following your progress.

 

[elduderino]

Wow, creative.

Holy foam dust!

Great work, keep it up.

I took some vacation time for the holidays and finally got some work done on the bike. I made a front fairing stay and mounted the fairing to the bike. Then I could finally start cutting the fiberglass down to shape. I am dreading the sanding process so I think I am going to work on the rear sets next.

Wow, I was a little concerned looking at your initial pics but you pulled it off. Nice job!

To be honest I was a little concerned too. I almost shelfed the project. I wasn't liking what I was seeing and I didn't want to invest anymore time. My dad convinced me to mount it up and then decide. I'm glad I gave it a little more time.

Wow that came out great!
