I have the following Factory Body Works bits - would like to sell as a complete package so I don't have to split ship, but am willing to work with prospective buyers. I'm asking $125 for all, $150 for 'out the door' shipped to continental U.S. If you want, you can swing by my place and save a whopping $25.

Pod Covers, Left and Right - these will require fitting - the tabs do not match up with holes on my 2008.




Headlight inserts (2)




Lower (with cut-out for kickstand)

how does it mount? do you have the brackets?
have you fitted it to your bike? how close does it come to the bend in the headers right above the muffler?
is that fiberglass 'sealed' or bare, and just black naturally?

MV: I am running the Erik Buell Racing can and header combo, and it seemed to 'locate' OK, as in, it didn't appear to conflict with the header. Note - No can in this picture, but headers are on. Lower is sitting on a 6" +/- high box





I did not mount it, so there are no brackets. I think the lower K-bracket would be one attachment point, another may be the oil cooler mounts (with the appropriate homemade Z-bracket. I was working on a rear attachment point, but went another route for belly pan. Black gelcoat, but needs some TLC, depending on your desire for final finish. I used the FBW upper fairing and tail section, and did spend some time getting them where I wanted them (like filling in the headlight openings):





As with any race plastic, you will have to figure some of this stuff out for your application. Not a simple bolt-on piece.

This is how upper and tail turned out:

FWIW - this is what I got from FBW when I asked about mounting.... Looks like something similar to what I described above...

"Hello Jeff, the lower for that bike will need "L" brackets made to mount it to the bike, the lower would look like this afterwards."

Bumpity -

I've decided I won't need these, so reasonable counter-offers or trades will be considered. Thanks.

I am interested in the lower piece. Is there any damage to the lower?

Mrrick - nope, other than minor dings and scuffs as delivered from FBW (not as nice as Flexiglass, but fine for my needs).
