buy 2nd genuines from ebay and respray them...

home-made carbon fairings (standard look)

or TYGA bodykit...

what you guys suggest,, i would also like a race rep, but finding one thats unique and hasnt been done is hard... i dont want nothing like rizzla or something because its just not honda!!

Well you could do a version of my TT Legends, thats unique

I still have a packet of Mc Vities chocolate digestives for the winner.. Although I could be keeping that prizefor myself I think..

Genuine new fairings need big money pockets, ebay fairings maybe need work and paint, Tyga changes the look, the choice is yours.

I have mint type 9 top and centre panels I am no longer using. Also have mint type 10 lowers and fair type 6 rears.

i like the TYGA look as its more modern but i also like the standard look as thats how they were and with them before rather old now, a standard shape would look nice hence why i thought correct colour coded genuine panels..

does the bike loose value from installing a tyga kit?

You won't get as much as what you paid for all the parts if you sell the bike complete Tyga'd. If you've got a set of good standard fairings and want the Tyga, hold on to your panels and revert back to the standard look when you come to sell the bike. Then flog the Tyga parts. Best way to not lose money I reckon.

Get it sorted mechanically and then pimp it for looks with a period paintjob.

TYGA does little, especially with the scared rabbit headlights...

I know I am biased and everybody is welcome to ther opinion but to me the TYGA NC23 looks more like 'contented cat' headlights than 'scared rabbit' and the original Honda like a creature which has just received something unwelcome up the rectum. Even 20 years ago when I owned my first NC23, the headlights were the least attractive part of the styling as far as I was concerned. I had the black plastic headlight surrounds colour matched white to blend with the red/white/blue 'fireblade scheme. Alas no pictures of that bike but the one below will do as an example for comparisons.

lol Paul, yes, you are right.

In my view it looks too narrow in the face - kind of like Joan Rivers facelifted!

Dan, what's wrong with the fairings you have now? They look good to me.
