Default New fairing design for F3s

I am new to this forum, I am an aprilia forum member and ride both an 2003 Aprilia RS125 and a 98 Honda CBR 600F3. I really enjoy the site and have just watched until recently. I wanted to show you guys a fairing modification I am producing and will finish this spring. It will work with any F3 model and would be willing to modify the design if someone with an F2 or otherwise wanted to use it. It is a trimmed race fairing with an additional ram air intake, preliminary studies show a 5%-10% increase in air velocity through the air box. The headlight fitting is solid twill weave carbon fiber molded to fit smooth with the fairng cuts. It holds two high power halogen projection bulbs and a set of mini amber driving prjection lights which are on a switch of thier own. Ram air duct is also formed from the same carbon fiber molding process. This design is going on my CBR and I dont mess with anything that is low in quality or craftsmanship. I would be glad to produce this same front end for anyone interested. It is a great design and will improve bike performance as well as safety because of the huge step up in illuminating the roadway. I dont have the total price for the entire project but I am fairly certain it will fall around $400 for parts and labor. Just drop me a line if anyone is interested.

Here are the prices: (Hardware) - Carbon fabric (Twill),Poly resin, mold release, two high power ultra white polyellipsodial driving lamps, and a set of high power amber projection lights on a seperate switch included, if you have never driven w/amber driving lights before they are great for enhancing depth perception. Total $240.00.

(Production costs) mold press and assembly fee. $200.00.

All kits includes:
carbon headlight assemblies
all lights and wiring
Carbon Ram air duct and assembly hardware
