project part 2

For $114 CDN hard to beat. There is no way I could even buy the materials for that kind of money. That nose piece would take me many hours to complete.

That could be used as a starting point for the rest of the fairing if you wanted to continue to add simpler parts to fill it in but as GW says, these motors need as much cooling as they can get.

If you get a big block of styrofoam and carve out the fairing, sand it and cover with bondo, then prime it. You can glass over the whole thing.

You need urethane foam or the glass resin will melt it.

I use tinfoil and filler, then prime and sand.

That would do it. A few more steps but a good idea. Urethane foam is expensive. That is the stuff that florists used to mount flowers. Don't know if they still use it.

would installation or foam boards work like these walmart or the home depo (home depo might be better)

the winner is the Honda RC116

If you wanted to make quick simple body panels that are easy to form.

I would use Kydex thermoforming plastic. Wears like steel, lite like carbon fiber. & you can buy 2foot×4foot sheets fairly reasonable. Forms with a heat gun. Or oven if your doing large areas.

Fabricating a Fairing

Good Evening All, I have kicked around the idea of building my own metal fairing to go with my vintage looking bike. I finally decided to start o e and I will hopefully be finished before the next SoCal Motorized Bicycle Race in March. I have been looking at a lot of pictures of...

I love the random pics the other forum will show you. Sure it'll be from 2010 but you wouldn't have seen it otherwise. I found this cool build with fiber glass cosmetics. Full suspension, and its a shifter bike. https://motorbicycling.com/threads/pics-of-my-cafe-build.32098/

Great styling on the MotoDromo II build. Finished pictures: https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/motodromo-special-ii-cutting-it-close.93708/
