I own a lighting so sorry... Brian (Diablobrian) could most likely be the most knowledgable person for this subject, but I will look in a catalog when I get home in a few hours concerning your needs. Good Luck! (bump) | ||

Thank you sir....because i'm intersted in them but i don't like the plain look of the full fairing without the headlight bezels....and i wouldn't want to have to cut those out... | ||

In my search, yep, that's the only place to get a street full fairing with the headlight holes already there. You can't even get the sharkskinz (who makes it) from another site, except Trojan in England. racingmotorcycles.com and airtech-streamlining.com both sell replacement replicas of the stock, 1/4 fairing both with- and without headlight provisions, though. Just what I've found, someone else may know otherwise? Sherm | ||

on one of these posts in here they show a firebolt at the track with the headlights cut out....I think on one of the recent posts about the flat black color....not much help, but at least they show a pic of it | ||

its in the archive through the 21st, but its not a full body kit...just the front fairing/windscreen... sorry!!!! | ||

Yes Just hals make sure they pack it good . My set for my street bike came cracked and with out the complete mounting kit . | ||
| Buellfirebolt31 |
you bought a fairing from hal's and it was cracked without all the hardware? or did you buy it from somewhere else like that? | ||

I was told that they were even worse quality than the early sharkskinz. | ||

He bought it from Hal's. He was too excited to want to send it back. Godfather's bodywork is a lower quality bodywork molded off of the sharkskinz plastic. The highest quality fairings for Buells come from sebimoto (racingmotorcycles.com), but they don't have a street version available. | ||

What is different from Sebimoto's and Hals street version? | ||
| Trojan |
The Sebimoto bodywork is race only, so has no headlight holes, no sidestand cutout and is in VERY lightweight fibreglass. The Hal's/Sharkskinz body has the headlight cutouts and is also slightly adapted at the bottom to accept the side stand (the Sebimoto would need cutting). Both the Sebimoto and the Hal's kit are sold without mounting kits so don't forget to add this as an extra. To be honest it is extremely easy to make the rear mounts that you would need, so save the money and fabricate them. | ||

My sebimoto is very light but also very thin, does not take much to crack it at the mounting points. Brad have you though about getting the sebimotoand modifying it to use the firebolt headlight bezels? That's my plan,just don't have time or money right now. BTW I may go riding this weekend,Monday and tuesday, any day it's not raining. I'll call ya. | ||

Both brands do not have a kickstand cut outs, you have to do that yourself. For the sebimoto you would have to cut your own headlight holes. The sebimoto has kevlar reinforcement on the "ears" by the windscreen, and at stress points like the places that you need to mount the fairing from. I highly recommend getting the mounting kit, and getting an adhesive "heat tile" for the inside of the right side of the fairing to prevent your header from burning your paint. This is a common occurrence. There is nothing wrong with the sharkskinz bodywork, I run it on my street bike, I just believe that the Sebimoto fairings are higher quality based on what I've seen on my bike, the race bike, my brother (DiabloMichael)'s bike, and in the pits at the races. | ||
