Trackday fairing questions...
 

Hi all,

has anyone heard of/used these guys?

http://www.superbikebodywork.co.uk/d...dyworkpage.htm

Was going to buy mine of Barry, but after speaking to this guy I think I'll go with him...
Seems pretty switched on, he even has a 996!

Also, I don't want to dredge up the daytime MOT debate, but who rides to their TD's with TD fairings fitted (ie. no headlight) and have they had any grief from the plod?


Muchas Gratias,

Stinkwheel

quick question .. if i may ...

why buy something frome someone who no one here has ever heard of when Barry comes recommended by virtually everyone that has trackday bodywork on a 748/9** style bike ....??

I'm not saying his kit isnt as good, but I don't understand the logic ... !!

Because i've got a TD at the end of the month and this guy has guaranteed a two week delivery time, when I spoke to Barry he was very busy...

Also he sounds like he knows what he's talking about, says he will reinforce the inside of the fairing with kevlar next to the waterpump housing. The fairing also comes pre drilled, with Dzus fasteners and he'll do the bellypan in black for no extra charge...

That's why...:)

should have tried this guy.

Chris mate, have you used these guy's yourself ? Am thinking about buying a complete track body kit for my 2003 748. £350 for a complete kit painted sounds fair enough, do you know what the quality is like, does fit properly ?

Cheers

Funnily enough so does Barry.... In fact I've just got back from picking a kit up for MartinH

Barry is always busy... why because he probably makes one of the best kits there is for a 998, he was telling me he's sold over 200 998 kits in the last 2 years... why?

Plus Barry could do you one for 2 weeks if you asked...

Does barry do a 999 kit yet? including seat?

Yes but it might be worth checking with him as last time I saw him he did say he had a few issues with it and wasn't happy with the side fins etc, I didn't ask him today

Can someone give me a contact number or site address for Barry

Cheers

Simon

Certainly have, he now does old 748/9** style as well as the 998 style, check out his site, my brothers bike (Bionicle)
the Alcohol soft 999r in the gallery has one of his 749/999 fairings & paint job, my 748 as in my avatar and on his gallery has the fairings done by him as well, so for the price great value, all the mounting points are strengthened, he will paint/gel coat sticker what ever design you want.

Barry's number is 07748 765842 no website (yet... I did suggest this to him today) full kit for a 998 etc is £300 colour pregnated with all fittings also, he can do number boards at addition cost if needed.

Thanx guy's

Alright guys I'm convinced! A mate has offered me the use of some battered panels for my TD so looks like I'll be able to go with Barry afterall... :bouncy:

whatever you do....DONT BUY FROM VIMORI....over priced and not highest standard expected or promised for the premuim charged, much more than barry, and customer servicve is APPALING

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

I've had a couple of seat units from Superbikebodywork and I think they're pretty damn good, good seat lock mounting (Ard Racing Siliconed the seat lock on:o)
But ARD's fairings are good, Vimori's don't fit too well.
As far as I can make out, Barry only makes the 998 style side panel which is a shame as I prefer the old style so probably won't use him, but there are many recommendations for him on this board so you are unlikely to get duff gear.

Dave at http://www.hcracetech.co.uk/ does both 998 & the older 748/9** panels.
