does this work on F3 fairing stay?
how come u decided with an R1 front instead of like a 600rr front or something to stay in the honda family? then again all modern sportsbikes have pretty much the same front fairing anyways (bleh)
anyways it looks fantastic! i would love to purchase one. hopefully you get those replicas soon.

RE: Custom CBR 600 F3/R1 Fairing
The conversion will require a R1 stay, smaller or modified gauges and it will fit the F2 and F3. So what ever model the conversion is for will require that particular stay,headlights, etc. I am working on a project its a moto GP style RC211V upper fairing that will allow the use of the stock F3 stay and gauges for those that wish to keep their original parts. I plan to keep the price of the F3/R1 upper under 250.00. I hope to have this up and running before the end of APR.

RE: Custom CBR 600 F3/R1 Fairing
G'day Chris.
Interesting Topic .I work with Plastic Injection Moulding & have done for over 25 years.I find it a crying shame that it is such an expensive way of producing parts.Injection moulds i have worked with have weighed up to 3.5 tonne for a single cavity part.
cheers

RE: Custom CBR 600 F3/R1 Fairing
Last summer a friend of mine took my parts around some of the factories here in south korea and we were both amazed at how much it would cost to get a plastic injection mold made plus a production run. One factory wanted 10,000 just to CAD the fairing and design the blueprints for the injection mold. So ever since I have be learning about fiberglass replication.

I am working on it a fairing that uses the stock F3/F2stay, guages, windscreen, and different styles of aftermarket headlights. Its based of the Honda Moto GP RC211V. Its going to be sweet.
