Motorcycle Fairings: Learn How To Create Them

By Lori Buenavista


If I say that it is easy enough to make fairings, what I intend to say is that having another fairings set that we can copy can make a big difference. Reading through this article will give us an idea on how to make it possible to create or develop our own fairings set. Since the cost of the materials that we need are getting higher, we can make use of those old ones.

After getting to know all the basic terms, we should start considering all the things that we need so as to create a plug that is sufficiently good for a mold. Creating a newly look fairings out of an old piece is the technique however, it might take a long time. The first thing that we should do is to get some images of the fairings that we like. Aside from that, we should also do some modifications, draw pictures that has notes in them, and consider if the fairings set would fit the bike.

When it comes to sticking or hardening materials, we ca use plaster sine or other materials if we do not like to use a bondo. We should be able to have those materials such as the sand paper, bondo, cardboard, a sturdy work table, masking tape, a piece of plywood, butcher paper which is waxed on the other side, 3M spray adhesive, a couple of saw horses, primer, a good box cutter, spot putty, and bondo spreaders.

The tools that we need are the best palm sander, to remove decals we will need a heat gun, a cheap or not expensive dremal tool which is available in the market, a hand drill, and a saw. We might be able to use other tools aside from these tools that was mentioned, we just stated some of the most basic materials that we need.

Anyway, I had been constructing a 1991 CBR 600 bike that I can use on a race track so that I will not cause any destruction to the Gixxer because it is expensive to repair that. We also have the CBR 600 F2 model. The only problem is that it does not have any fairings at all. Buying some good new fairings set would cost a thousand of dollars and it is just a new technological innovation in motorcycle industry. The initial week is usually spent for fitting as well as creating body work on the plugs but to make it easier, we should have a rack.
