I've had a few requests come my way over the past several months for the TTX full fairing that I've shown here and in our race promotions. For those that missed it, here's a photo:
As it sits, these parts are hand laminated and autoclave cured pre-preg carbon fiber, which is about as expensive a process as it can get. This being the case, they're not very affordable for the average Joe and even a stretch for someone wanting to race as they may need to be replaced from time to time.
Long story short - I'm looking at having the set (nose cone, left side, right side, and bellypan) re-created in much cheaper fiberglass by a company with many years experience doing this (
www.airtech-streamlining.com). I'd like to see if there's enough interest for a group buy.
The tooling is about $4k and the part set would be $380-420. If I can get enough interest, we may be able to spread the tooling cost across the first order. After that, the parts would be cheap and available for ourselves and more customers. PM me if you're interested.
A couple of details:
1. This is track bodywork... i.e. these are not designed to be run on the street. That said, I've seen lots of track bodywork adapted to street bikes, café racers, and other customs. It could be done, but would require trimming and maybe other modification.
2. Timing is around 6 weeks after order.
3. The parts come in a white gel-coat finish, ready for paint.
4. Custom sheetmetal brackets are required to mount the parts, or you could build your own. Let me know which you'd prefer in your PM.
5. I'm thinking we'd need about 5 participants to make this happen. No promises yet.
