would you buy fiberglass fairings?

ninja_thresh_hold · July 6th, 2013, 01:45 PM

im thinking about making fairings for ex250rs from fiberglass, and possibly sell them if i can work out the kinks. would you guys be interested in buying fiberglass fairings? they'd be cheaper, be easier to repair after a drop, and most importantly, you wouldnt have to wait months on end to have them shipped from china like the cheap ebay fairings.

I'm sure if you did them with a belly tray to make them race compliant then people would buy them in a snap.

id consider it specially if theres no fitment issues.

its ridiculous that manufacturers make products that dont fit like an OEM product would, even though the bike is out all they gotta do is get one for test fitment >_>

I'd buy fo sho.

I would so buy a pre-gen hugger if you could produce one!

that really doesnt sound too hard, i may start with small parts like this, and then move up to full kits, but just as a poll, how much would you be willing to pay for a hugger?

yeah, when i got my 2fiddy i bought ebay fairings, which i eventually got to fit right, but they took alot of modifacation and 2 months from hong kong:/ i eventually went oem and i still have the chinese fairings in the garage(if anyones interested)

From a price point perspective I think it'd have to be a good deal cheaper than the OEM fairings from places like Tyga.

i was thinking like in the range of 350-500 for a full set, where OEM ABS plastics are 800 for a new full set.
