I like how it fits where the tank fillers would go. Not my style but nice design.

just gave the guy from twin performance a call.
he told me that the black fairing on his web shop was sold.
but he did tell me that he might have a complete new set for sale.he`s going to search for it tomorrow.

when i asked him about the makers from the fairings,he told me that a french company called -odyssey color- made these fairings some years ago.

I've had this fairing for almost 10 years. It's a kit including the head light, handlebars and mounting. Last I heard the original manufacturer didn't sell it anymore. I would love to pick up a spare if someone has the molds...

What was the cost back then Shadow? If I read the link above right it was 1125 Euro + shipping.

Excellent looking piece but at that price plus paint someone would have to really want it.

This looks pretty good too:

It actually came painted in stock colors. By the way, the headlight is from an Aprilia Pegaso 3 650.

That would go a long way to make it feasible especially if you could find one that matches you bike.

It's still half to a third the cost of the bike.

Does it have ducting to the airbox?

Deant,
A Firebolt fairing on a Tuber is pretty easy, depending whether you can find everything you need for a decent price.

If memory still serves me, Airtech makes an upper fairing kit that is very similar to the one in this posting. The look is very similar to the one posted.It may be worth a look

DevDawg is correct, its pretty easy to fab some stuff up as long as you have, in my opinion, the fairing and fairing support (firebolt)
Just make something to attach it to your stock stuff and done. All is well.

Finding a reasonable price on a fairing support bracket is the bad part, or at least was for me.
