It sucks that no one except cobalt racing (vfrchuck) makes the rear fairings.

Hey Rob,
Just fairings pretty much says it. The OEM lower fairings were sold with the VFR decal and Honda never sold the decal separately. A replica of the decal is available from xtremedecals.com (see XtremeDecals
It's good to see Poly26 makes the tail section. I had to have a 1" stress crack near the front end of the tail light plastic welded last fall, plus the touch up to the pearl white paint and a new interceptor decal. Hope it holds.
I installed one of those I4C CVolt meters like you got on your bike. It was their last one. Should've been stock from Honda given their regulator/rectifier problems. Also had my Fox TC rear shock rebuilt by Lindemann Engineering. It needed a stiffer spring (1100 lb/in) and had leaked some hydraulic fluid. Ride improved noticeably but the weather has sucked to much to set the damping adjustments. Snowed a little bit the past several days. Hope to see you at the MotoGP again.

Chuck,
Do you still make glass for our bikes?

I called these people in New Zealand and they will not ship to the U.S.. Soooooooo, even though it is a tremendous strain, I will have to consider moving. Oh darn, oh gosh, oh my, I would hate to have to move to New Zealand (sarcastic). The city of sails may be nice, but I think I'm off to Christchurch. I want to be pushed around on a gondola all day like I was for 2 months the last time I was there.

In the past, we have helped each other out with the sourcing and shipping of parts. You may opt to start a new post and see if you can rally some help from the great community here.
The cost of shipping may prove the venture to be less than economical, but the opportunity is there. Just an idea.
hey guys if you ever need any thing shipped, im only a hour away from these guys, and have friends who live very close who would pick up and would probably post,
it seems a bit silly that they don't ship to the us,
send me a pm if you want anything in there range

Yeah, same here.
Seb was probably referring to me - I've been helped out numerous times by Seb, Trace and Rob when parts were hard to come by here or were just too expensive. The standard reply when trying to buy Honda parts from a dealer is, "Sorry - not in stock. Three to four weeks, ex-Japan. Please pay up front!"
The worst example was rear cush rubbers: $NZ85. I ordered and paid for them, was told it would take up to six months as there were none in stock, not even in Japan. After 7 months, I contacted them again. "Um... sorry; we forgot to place the order!" Had them in a week (from Seb, I think), for $29.
So yeah, if you need anything like fairing parts, windscreen blades (they make some of those here too), or Ventura racks/bags (also made in Hamilton like the fairing panels), just PM me (or hmmmnz).
They must be having issues. I tried clicking on links on their site and got blank pages with some code on it.
