Body Kit?

#1 Unread post by TKDean »

I recently saw an SV650 with a full body fairing. and that got me thinking. These modified fairings are they called body kits like on cars?

Also does anyone know of any good companies that sell cool looking sporty "body kits"? Particularity for the Buell Blast, Ninja 500r, and the gs500f.

Nope. You gotta work for 'em. Biceps, pecs, gastrocnemius.

Airtech, Sharkskinz, and there used to be a couple more, depending on the year... but a full fiberglass body will cost you $750 minimum if its designed for a fairing and more if its not, because they have to design the mounting brackets too. Then you have to get it painted for another $500-$1200 depending on what you want and how picky you are.

hi-side hit the nail on the head with his cost estimates. Its not cheap, but neither are the stock pieces.
