Carbon fairings - Brainstorm?

[Gavin jap4]

panels would come all ready to fit to the bike

road or race would depend on demand we would need a minimum order before they are done to make it worth our while doing it.

ABS is a no go as it is very very expensive to set up injection moulding to do it correctly and well.

I'd love some carbon panel but I think they would be more than the bikes worth.

. The problem is the price.

Carbon sounds good, but unfortunatly, i'm out. Would cost more than what my bike's worth. .

and this is the crux of the matter, even the uber modding NC30 boys wont shell out for Carbon Fairings and there is a lot more of them than us.

If individual panels were available you could maybe go for just a carbon headlight fairing with standard for the rest. Would be cool.

I second this. Just to buy that darn nose cone/front fairing is proving to be bit of a nightmare. If a Chinese one costs some £130 plus silly amounts for shipping, £150-£200 delivered for a carbon nose cone THAT FITS WELL is a rather plausible and attractive option.

I really hate to have it Street-Fightered just because I can find no nose cones.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but £150-200 for a carbon nose cone is optimistic a fibre glass one we can supply now is £130.00 a carbon one you will be loooking at £300 +

Tanuki is also correct on the fact you CBR boys dont splash the cash as much as the NC boys do which could be a problem as we will need a minimum of 5 orders for us to make it worthwhile making.

for NC23 panels, what about skidmarx? are theyre quality any good?

[CBRNugget]

A ball park fig would be around £1000.00 for front and rear panels but it is ball park ...

Having just spent ~£300 on a set of Chinese fairings from an auction site, £1K seems fair - for quality as well as longevity.

If anyone that's interested start saving £80 every month, this time next year we could place the order!!
