Title: Name this fairing/ light kit?
Post by: Soro on September 01, 2005, 07:36:44 PM

Does anyone know/ recognize these fairings? I found these three bikes on a Euro Streetfighter site and I'm interested in tracking one of these fairing/ light kits down for my own project. Since there are three different bikes with the same fairing/ light kit I'm guessing that it's not a "one-off" custom. There is no email contact at the website I got the images from.
So far I can't find the fairings anywhere.

That almost looks like one of the Acerbis headlight units, designed for dual sport bikes.......

Nope, not it........

They have one with stacked lights, but it has a number plate above it...

Can't find it at http://www.whaccessories.com/Fairing.htm  either

Yeah, I thought that also. So I went and got an Acerbis Blitz off eBay.
But now that I have the Acerbis in hand it doesn't look right.

Here is a close up of one of the SF fairings and a second of my Acerbis (the white sticker numberplate comes off). The Streetfighter one looks like a different type of light system. I've been thinking that the SF fairing is either a limited run or some sort of hybrid mix of a light kit and some windscreen.

Looks like the Alien fairing - Banditmania (http://www.banditmania.co.uk/Bodywork.htm) sells it.

The SF fairing does look like the Alien fairing. Pretty crummy picture on the Banditmania website (figures). I'll look into it some more. Thanks all for pointing me in a direction. :beers:

Well, spoke with Banditmania and they don't recognize the fairing. They said it's not their Alien model. They also said it looks German to them but that's all they can give me info wise.

So it looks like I'm back to scouring the web. :clubme:
