Question for only the boldest of men :P
so since i cant seem to find a front fairing, ANYWHERE....i decided that i may try to just make my own. now, im not talking about 100% from scratch...i do have the left side of the front fairing, and ill be able to get the windshield easily enough...its the right side im talking about fabricating from fiberglass. i have one snag that im hoping some bright minds on this forum can help me through...
how can i make a 'mold' of sorts of my left fairing, and mirror it to essentially make the right one? ive been racking my brain trying to come up with a method for this, but i cant think of anything feasible. so far all ive got is getting some sort of rubberized coating to go inside the left fairing, and then peel it out after its dry and 'pop' it out for an approximate mirrored piece and use it as the base of my build up. hopefully this gets some wheels turning..thanks guys!
***EDIT: also, how well would the front fairing of a cbr 1100 fit with a 94 hurricane fairing set? thats really all im down to is getting the front fairing!

scaryfast, no doub it would be cool as hell to make it in carbon fiber, i think i lack the skills to do so though lol
sprock, good find! just the wrong fairing man, i need the front fairing around the headlight
hawkwind, thanks!! indeed expensive, but so far thats the only manufacturer ive seen that comes close to making it...it does, however, say 89-92..but it does look right, so i dunno. definitely something ill keep in mind though.
thanks guys, and anything else you may find, throw it in a post!

Though I'd like to take credit for the link , I must 'fess up', it was one that Harry.T.Hamster posted along time ago, cheers Harry
jw11432 , you may get one up on e-bay , or there's always the option of fitting a Blackbird nose and light , whichever one comes up first, though I think the 'BB' conversion would be expensive with the cost of the headlight as well.
