300 Race Fairing Options?
I'm having some issues purchasing some race plastics for my 300 race bike that I'm currently building without breaking the bank. I already have a tail and front fender. I just need an upper and lower. Has anyone ever used a different bikes body work and made fit some how? I saw one guy in here used an RS125 upper and lower. I'm open to anything. I'm not racing yet, still just doing track days.

Anything is possible, I fit a 06 zx10r upper and lower on my 04, was pretty nice. All you have to do is see where they are mounting the fairing's at and make a bracket.
Maybe a 08-12 250r set would work? Are you using the bike as a track bike or street bike? |

why don't you just buy some hotbodies or shark skinz or whatever? its like 200 bucks... if you are worried about the cost of bodywork, you're going to be in for some serious shock when you try to start racing.

Good Point
You make a good point Alex. I'm a little spoiled because there is a company down in South Florida that sells an entire set for $330 but they're out of stock until March.

The main thing I don't like about the fairings is the hardness. They are brittle, with very little flexibility. I know once the bike hits the ground, the fairings will into 10,000 pieces. Even putting them on the bike without cracking them is an exercise. For $330, you can't beat them. They get the job done. You just need to keep this info in mind and decide if the price is worth the issues gained. |

Just a note, Ive been in contact with AirTech out of SoCal. They might have my bike over this winter to use for a mock-up depending on demand.

I'd love to see another set of plastics that was smoothed out on the face and tail for easier placement of the race numbers (than the hotbodies I have). The 250's are much smoother

Only issue I had with the motofairings set is the belly pan holes and reinforced morning point were no where close to being in the right spot. Had to make up my own custom brackets to be able to mount the belly pan. I think next time I will try Armour Bodies.

stock fairings can work for the track too.
fiberglass is much better than the cheap stuff. they hold up really well.

200 bucks for sharkskinz? Where are you getting your numbers from? You can't even buy hotbodies for 200 bucks and the difference in quality between the two are significant

Must be a local deal!
Total off the Sharkskinz website for 250 glass is over $625!!! EDIT!!!: Nevermind...I read back through the thread! Yes; Hotbodies is offering 2 for 1 so net cost is $225 for the uppers & lowers in Primer finish. Great Deal!!!

Anyone have a firsthand review/experience with the Hotbodies set? STG often has decent videos, but I haven't watched theirs yet. Opinions from people who aren't trying to sell me things are usually preferable though.

That's $839.95 for the cheaper option (STG) - $419.98 per set. Where are we shaving off the $200 difference? Selling the tail? A partial set 2/1 option I didn't find?

I didn't say all in.
Read their offer (the link above, I'm on my phone so I'll let you do the work)

Personally, I think it's the time spent prepping and installing the set properly vs just throwing them on. If you get the 2 for 1 deal and can split it with another rider. I feel you can't really go wrong. Especially, if you know how to do minor glasswork.

I see what I did though: I was looking for myself for only upper & lower fairings. They total $450 so $225 a set. But of course; thats not the offer! Only the full set @ $700 qualifies for the 2 for 1 discount! Apparently; reading is my second language!
