Hey:
It would be cheaper to purchase another used bike than to buy either new factory fairings if you could find them or new aftermarket fairings when availible. You are looking at a grand a side cheapest new. Also repairs, fiberglass does not tend to hold up long term, much better to use a JB weld for minor repairs, and plastic welding, carbon fiber, or epoxy for larger stuff as this has been my experience doing this for a long time. I converted my 88 to the 93-2000 type body work as it was easier to find, it is just a lot of fitting & refitting to do this and get right and tight the 1st time. Some drilling, and bracket fabrication with bracket relocation is required to do this.
That 88 CBR1000F on CL in IL was a good buy if purchased at the right price do to this, If you want this type of body style. Good Luck
