Just ordered the Brasse fairing kit - Page 6

Here's a walk around video. I used the Mobius wide camera so it didn't shoot as close as I would like. I'll make another ride/walk around video that's more clear.

When I first saw some still photos I thought this kit would be a disaster, but when I see it in the video I have to admit it looks a lot better than my first impression.

I'm not sure if it's to my personal taste, but it definitely looks unique - and in a good way.

Hero Danny · July 12th, 2014, 09:30 PM

Nice vid! Might be easier to see if you were outside in the daylight though.

I must say your headlights are not that bright, you should be careful out there, you are even more invisible then us!

The bike looks great though, I agree with capt, my first impressions of the kit were that it was unique but kind of lame.. But after seeing the video, I must admit, I was wrong. Bike looks great man. Not my personal taste either, but it is pleasant to look at and super unique.

Baron · July 12th, 2014, 09:53 PM

Looks awesome!!
Bloody hell I'm a wee bit jealous now.

Thanks guys. Yeah, it's an acquired taste. You have to like naked/streetfighter look to even think about liking this look. The head lights are actually brighter in person, but I'm still a bit invisible at night since it's all black. I might add some LED lights to make myself more visible.

Now that turned out great. I am in awe of the outcome, very nice job.

It reminds me of a mega expensive Confederate motorcycle (Hellcat, etc) or some other expensive custom bike.

Interesting that it uses those magnifying glass lens lights on the side fairings. Never seen that before personally, very cool.

Rear is integrated into the tail light, front is right under the head lights. You can see them in the 1st video I posted. The kit didn't come with it so I had to mod.

Now that I'm no longer banned (rightfully so since I didn't read the TOS of this forum) here's a quick vid of the Brasse 31BLK and me with full gear including the UD Replicas Batman backpack. The backpack isn't worth it if you're looking for a fully functional practical backpack. It's just enough to carry your lunch in. I also have the ICON FSB fin kit that I'll add to my helmet later. I know, it's squidish, but it'll complete the Batman theme.

Link to original page on YouTube.

spc2125 · August 3rd, 2014, 10:04 PM

That backpack and helmet though....

If i didnt pay $400 for mine I would get that one.

But i digress, I read through this whole thread. It was like a fricken movie with all the suspense wondering if after going to the next page the package would ship. But even though you got your product I wouldn't buy from Josh. I've gotten scammed for $600 trying to buy a turbo one time for my car.... makes me paranoid every time i buy something online now if they don't ship the product after like 2 days.

But back to the product, im not a fan of the chopped tail frame look. I do like the billet panel look though. And is the front fender covering the tire a different black than the rest?

+1 for uniqueness

P.S. WTF do you do for a job?!?! Clearly not the typical 18-21 year old with a ninja

Yeah, I feel ya, I've dealt with scammers in my time before. Now I make sure I can find them if needed before I purchase.

I love the chopped off short look if it's a street fighter. Yes, the front fender and back tire hugger isn't matte black since it's not included in the kit. I could've hit it with matte black but decided the contrast looks good for my taste.

I work in IT security dealing with patients medical records for hospitals and laboratories.

NinjaZX6R123 · August 4th, 2014, 12:14 AM

Just got done with a night ride and decided to take a picture to share. You can barely tell from the picture but in the center I've added green LEDs so that cars can see me at night from the side.

Did you just say Batman?

The rider in me was like, "No, don't do it, that's squid-ish." but the geek in me was screaming, "I'm Batman!" .....geek side won. Put the ICON FSB fin kit on my helmet.

Danger13Fox · August 4th, 2014, 05:34 PM

Geek side always wins... Lol

But the only problem I would have is when people ask me what kind of bike is that?

And then you say... ?

No, seriously, I tell them the truth. On my ZX6R Harley's and some cruisers don't wave at me. On this 250R I guess they don't know what it is so they usually wave. Had a few people already asked me what bike it is. Told them it's a custom 250R. They're still impressed. Had a few random cars pull up besides me and tell me it looks like something out of Batman. Not everyone ride to compare who has the bigger balls.

Haha, glad it's not just me. I used to wave to everyone on bikes but after getting stiffed 80% of the time by harleys and cruisers I just generally ignore them unless it's a sport bike, (sport bikes always wave back unless they are shifting or whatever) That being said, I wave back to whoever waves first. I just don't wave first to non-sport bikes lol

I like the green LED

That helmet makes me laugh, super squid, that's okay though. :P

You know what might be kinda cool is some LED's on your helmet.

I thought about that, but it doesn't go along with the Batman theme. Batman would never have lights up there. Reason why I put green LED glow in the center was for visiblity to cars coming from the sides, but also it fits the stealth theme. The KOSO gauge back light is set to green too.

What would be cool is if I could install a green LED glow behind my visor, but that would blind my vision so can't do that.

Does the wind bother you at all? If i'm not tucked at around 65+ mph then I feel like I'm gonna die even with ear plugs. And I have a slightly upgraded front shield

I don't mind the noise. Wind does bother me a bit at 65+ especially with the Icon FSB kit on my helmet. I just tuck and that resolves the issue.

I like the lights, I just would have put them higher and closer to sute my taste.
But if you love it its perfect!

I would have totally geeked out and did the batman thing myself.
I'm Batman... err... Batgirl... maybe more like Catwoman...

Ahh.. true. I believe he made it lower so that it looks more aggressive when you're looking at it directly from the front view.
