The point is mate, it doesn't have to be an SS specific fairing.... admittedly if you do want that one, the supply/demand curve obviously comes into play.... spirit of free enterprise and all that....

I'd rather try and keep it original to be honest, hence going for the Brancato stuff.

I'm sure Kev will be able to get a Superbike fairing on there, but I'm not Kev and I may well end up buying a 200 quid set of fairing only to bodge it completely and end up wasting that money - in which case buying something that is going to fit on without hassle is a better option.

I wouldn't know where to start looking for a fairing that will fit the 600ss dimensions - can you list one off the top of your head that you know will fit with little modification? There's also the catch tray to worry about and without buying something, how am I supposed to know what will fit?

Admittedly I could measure everything and go to a dealer armed with a tape measure, but these aren't the kind of items that are on display but are more likely to be purchased mail order. The same with going to a bike show - not many places will have them on site and it's not worth the hassle to keep pulling boxes open just for someone to measure up a fairing.

Yes, you can buy cheaper fairing. Yes, you probably could get it to fit. No, it won't look like an SS and No, I can't be arsed with the hassle

It's alright mate, Dickie is just having a laugh as well.

And he deserves to have the urine extracted after buying a brand new bike!!!

Unfortunately the old office maxim of "an ounce of image is worth a pound of performance" doesn't apply when the red lights go out.......................

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right" is also a good one.

Well at least it looks like its killed this thread!

Only read a small bit of this thread, but can you not all club together buy one kit and ship it to Barry (or a.n.other) who would probably do a mould of it as long as it was financially viable for him, and knock out kits for everyone else?

[antonye]

Oh, I'm sorry - I was still waiting for someone to show me where to buy a 600ss fairing at a much cheaper price!
