I think the most common choice for a monster is 748/916/996 fairings. Either full fairing or just the top and a belly pan (race belly pan so must hold so many litres of oil if it goes wrong).

As for sources..

DSC Post on stuff for newcomers

Theres a couple of shops on flea bay that specialise in race fairings if you fancy something a little different.

See the link that Ells posted above (as you're not the first to ask!) BUT just about anything can be made to fit with a little bit of ingenuity (and cable ties and duct tape!).

I've previously had a Triumph race seat unit on my 600/620 SS as it was less than £30 off ebay. Seat units from an RS250 are also quite a good fit too.

Put it on, mark it in pen, attack it with a saw and try it. Keep going until it fits!

Half the fun is having something different from everyone else!

I had an R6 seat unit at home you can have which was given to me. You may be able to make it fit your monster.

othewise like others I use a cut down 9** head fairing and a belly pan

Fairings

I'm in the same predicament, but with a 620 sport. I saw a few really nice bikes faired with 848 fairings - I think that might be the way forward for me. I've been informed that it might be worth getting a race fairing bracket to aid fitment. Don’t know if this is the case for monsters.

The bracket does aid fitment on the SS (I had a carbon one). Buy 2 though because it will be a case of "when" not "if" you crash yer gonna need a spare.
