fairings for 90 to 97 vfrs
With the ebay prices dropping so low over the last few years i have simply left them hanging on my wall.

If you want to lighted your shed load a little I sure could use a right upper and right middle faring, I'm in California

Did think about splitting it all.. but because of the silly postage costs for overseas its a little impractical for a replacement part which may be perfect, some parts are not but work OK when on bike.
Most of the time buyers are unhappy, i know i was, as they hope for perfect 17 yr old parts.... unlikely. One has to make do.
Ebay aint what it used to be.. smothered in big businesses selling and flooding out the little guys.
Thought at first will be best to sell the lot as a job lot, some parts i have collected to get a 4th gen on the road have been resprayed by last owner an orangey red??? which looks ok to get bike on the road or will be fine for a respray.
Thanks to the seller who never told me i paid over £300 +post, 100 for each rebuilt main side panel (orange/red) and a rear side with rear light unit. That was 2007. Was keen to get bike on road asap to register on road and was flush£££ at the time so went for it. I wont be giving my parts away as i have paid silly amounts for them already. The exchange rate is not great £/$...
At least i got bike back together to MOT it for the road (riding the TT course)... I then stripped and now track with the bike using carbon body work from a 916. Same price as VFR stuff, better shape and weights nothing...But thats another story..
If you can afford it go for a full thurn set.
Twist my arm, ill check for you when i get time and let you know what the score is in the garage..(few miles away from where i am now) Am sure i have more than one good upper left and right hand parts hanging up.
The side panels are where the money is, especially if OK to hang- repaired or not If they will get a good bike on the road.
Keep an eye out locally could save you a bucket load.

If you're thinking of splitting your kit rather than selling as a job lot, I'll join the queue :wink: :rolleyes:
I need the rear/ side panel set (both sides), been looking on fleabay in Oz for some time but no joy so far. Send me a PM if this floats your boat.

I realized after my post you were in GB
I have managed to piece together the mid R side so it will be usable, but the upper R is toast.
I may just go here:.http://www.airtech-s...R7501994-97.htm
I might be nice to make some kind of custom lights to make it work or cut the holes for the heavy factory pieces.
