Hello, I have a 2003 rc51 that I've been riding w/STT for several times. If I keep doing this I definitely want track upper and lower fairings. I know STT offers a nice deal w/hotbodies. But does anybody have experience w/other manufacturers? Rockwall, shark skinz? What is the best quality, predrilled, fit and finish, ease of installing, etc etc. Thanks, would like to hear the good/bad ugly if you have experience. See you at Road Atl this Saturday. #8 RC51 Marc W
always used shark skinz stuff on mine but i dont have an rc51 but your going to learn to love those dzus clips :wink:
Catalyst composites are right on par with SharkSkinz, and slightly cheaper. they crash and repair REALLY well too......... ask me how I know If I had it to do over again (which I will be soon) I would pick a more middle of the road set though. I am no pro, looking for sponsors. So I dont have to have the prettiest set of glass so that I can have a pristine paint job. Mediocre set at a mediocre price is fine by me.
I would not, in a million years, mention Cheetah in the same sentence as Armor Bodies or Shark Skinz. In my experience (I've crashed many of the leading brands of bodywork) cheetah is pure, unadulterated garbage. The initial fit is terrible, it's difficult to paint as the gel coat is prone to flaking off. Once painted, the finish is prone to spiderwebbing and if you crash it, it will shatter into a million pieces. Stay away from Cheetah!
Ok, so no cheetah. What about hotbodies? Believe it or not, they are nearly $150 cheaper a set than Sharkskinz. And they are rolling out a 10% discount. So maybe $400 for entire front lower/upper + shipping. Hotbodies experience, anybody?
Hotbodies are better* than Cheetah. That's about all I can say about them. *Better, being a highly subjective and relative term...
i have no problem with hot bodies stuff i will say though i concur with the cheetah is crap arguement my 600rr race fairings were horrible i paid way to much for garbage like that and the set was not even complete it pisses me off to this day!
Had an set for my first race bike (1st gen R6) they fit like a glove, not sure if they changed anything since then or not. Had Hot bodies on my 03 R6 and i was pretty happy with them for the price. Not sure what im going to go with for the 675
I have both Shark Skinz & Armour Bodies stuff - I would readily buy the Armour Bodies stuff again... AB now makes 2 versions of bodywork - the premium stuff is what I have....
Another opioion Crashed a set of Hot Bodies and the upper was beyond repair (yes the bike flipped and landed upside down). I replaced them with Sharks and couldn't be happier with the decision. I think these would have withstood the damage better. I love the superbike tail / seat upgrade I did at the same time too.
OK, don't jumpon me, I'm a newbie, anybody have any experience with Motofairings? I saw one quick review which was positive.
Twenty years later, the baby girl grew into an attractive woman just like her mother, her hair, cheap cheap wedding dressesher face, her beast, her waist and her legs all those seemed perfect, wedding dress cheap and what’s more, she was even more beautiful than her mermaid mother. One day,lace wedding dress when she was catching fish by the sea, a yacht appeared and anchored by the isle. A vigorous young man with tan skin asked whether he could stay here for several days to enjoy the beauty of the scenery. The girl had never seen another personbesides her father,http://www.ambersbridal.com/wedding-dresses/simple-wedding-dresses.html]simple wedding dress[/url] and she was very pleased to make a new friends. They played together, ate together, and they appreciated the stars and the beauty of the nature together.
plastics dude, I barely have time for this, as I am furiously searching for a wedding dress for my pet iguana, but I vote for motofairings.com however, I only have experience w/them, so this is not a dig at any other make. they arrive, well packed, in 2 days (to bham) and only $320 to the door. if you call, it's a better deal and I usually get a free windscreen or some discount.
