Why no 99-07 Aftermarket Plastic
On ebay you can get aftermarket plastic cowls for a decent price. Why are none offered for the 88-07 models ? Seems like they sold a zillion of em and demand would be there ??? Luckily I am not in need just wondering.
Thanks, 22R |

I think it's do to you can find a used one cheap, I paid $200 USD for all the plastics from a 07'
Another factor is it's already been 13 years, and aftermarket companies don't see that as a market. There are companies that make replacements, but not cheap, some out of fiberglass, and track parts

How many people are going to spend $300-$400 on an aftermarket fairing for a $1,000-$1,500 bike?
Especially since any insurance company will just total an older bike that has been dropped. Most people seem to just convert them into café racers or find used fairings from others who are parting out an old bike or turning it into a café racer. In other words, I don't think the market is there to justify the expensive molds and production equipment. I'm guessing the plastics guys agree with me. |
