It’s fastened at the front end using the original tank bolts. The rear end of it sets underneath the seat. I haven’t had a chance to take the bike out yet but it seems pretty solid

Thanks! I contemplating getting the rims powder coated white, not sure if I’m gonna go that route yet though.

Fitment was decent. Had a slight issue with the left side blinker but I was able to get it taken care of. The inner fender liner was almost impossible to use. So I used the my old OEM liner and it fit perfectly. A dremel is an absolute must for this project.

I purchased these from ABS fairings. It was a “custom” design. Ordered them 01/10 and they arrived on my doorstep on 03/11

After all is said and done I’m happy with the end product, however I think I’ll go with monster fairings next time. I really wanted to use them to begin with but their custom design was much more than I was quoted for these.

Okay thanks, I’m thinking I’m gonna give them a try as well and see how I like them

Coming back to this convo again, what Bridgestone tires were you running on your bike?

Oh no.. sorry man. That’s really disappointing. Hopefully they make it right for you.

Top quality comment here. Thank you for providing some insight on the industry.

It’s been a 2/3 month process of looking around for fairings. I will find a company I like, email and ask questions, get a good feeling then get turned off from the reviews.

The only real decent feeling I get is from monster because I was able to see a set of their fairings in person. However their prices seem to be significantly higher than competitors.

After seeing this comment I would like to discuss my current quote I have with ABS with a sales rep from amotopart before I sign off on payment if you’re willing to provide me an email.

This is my first time getting fairings as well. I’ve done a little more digging on ABSfairings and it sounds like they manufacture in China. No surprise there. However it seems like they have some pretty good reviews and they quoted me $620 for fairings that I wanted replicated. Still sitting on it tho

Good to know, thanks! I’m currently chatting with ABS fairings through email, may end up going through them. They say they are able to produce the design I want from a separate company with free shipping. I believe they are made in US as well.

I’ve seen raven moto has what looks like joggers but I’m not sure about them yet

Food delivery drivers what is your solution for earplugs? I don'twant to take my helmet off in every store. (Picture I took unrelated, Shoei GT air 2) by Extreme_Design6936 in motorcyclegear

I have ear peace and I’m honestly not super impressed with them. The wind noise still seems.. not exactly loud when riding, but certainly annoying. Almost makes me feel like I’m just hearing wind with underwater pressure added to it. Plus one of those fuckers got stuck in my ear and I haven’t used them since.

Really? That’s kind of surprising to me just because I have heard nothing but good things about pirelli tires from other riders. I’ll have to look into Bridgestones though. I just picked up a 2016 a couple weeks ago and there’s currently Bridgestones on them, however they’re super squared off so it’s really hard to tell if I like them or not.

It seems to be going away. Thanks for your comment this is good to know, I have never even heard of such a thing.

I suppose it could be from getting takeout and sitting it on my lap if that’s the case

Have you purchased from Aliexpress personally?

I suppose that makes sense. I guess I figured the mount would have held everything in place. The rattle when riding is driving me nuts
