Well I see your concern. I see the style of the fairings and its unlike the style similar to the F3 or F4I. Your VFR fairings tend to shoot upwards instead of forward. Now it can be done molding a fairing but your choices are limited. My thoughts on this is to swap fairings. I think it would be cheaper to buy a set of fairing from ebay or argo.com. If you have skills with bodywork then go for it if not you will pay around 60.00 bucks a hours so good luck. Now check out the link below I would go with this set of fairings and just mount it on my bike.

well thanks for your suggestions....i guess i better get good and fast cause i aint paying nobody $60 an hour for nothing. But i think i have a good idea on how to possibly merge the 2 fairing with fiberglass. i think with a little re-engineering and imagination, i should be able to get it...thanks alot and again man keep up the good work and good luck with your project...damn what anyone else says, your design is good....keeping it moving...just shake the haters off as you go.

I would be intrested in either one. I like the R1 front end and the F4i......I would most likely go with the F4i front end though.....let me know....ill buy one!!!

Okay now that I have my bike back from the shop custom fairing installed and painted to match I have determine that this is a acceptable fairing mod and I plan to reproduce it soon. I put the fairing through a few test and observations such as clip-on clearance, headlight angle projections and appearance. Today I rode my bike around the army base I work on and got alot of head turns and compliments from my friends. This is the second F3/R1 fairing I have made the first coming out a bit rough but this new fairing is a beauty. So I hope to have some fairings available for purchase before the end of next month.

What can you do for f4i? Think you can do a 2007/8 type 600rr fairings? I like the minimalist look. Or perhaps even RC212V.

Jay,
I think the F4I is still a pretty good looking bike. I think the upper looks better than a 600RR so why change. Anyway it can be done with a little imagination. But in order for me to do anything with a bike I must have that model in front of me. I live in south korea and to find a F4I that I can rip apart is hard. Sorry I am not abble to help.
