Hi!
I guess you have all seen this Monster:

As far as I was concern that was a one of custom S4R, and a very nice one! I just read this article that made me seriously consider the idea of getting a S4R just to be able to go for the body kit!

On the article there's a link to Paolo's FaceBook page where you can text him in case you want to order and need pricing and so on.
And a little more investigation led me to find a guy who claims it was the easiest mod he ever took on a car or bike! Check his bike (bad picture):

The rest of the models look something like this:

Amazing!
Love those spoke wheels!

I've been in love with that look for some time now. Did you ever inquire how much it would cost for the kit?
IIRC the fork covers were around $300 for the fiberglass about two years ago.
I received an answer from Paolo, shit, now I'm considering getting an S2R to tackle the project during winter.... This is the moment when you start regretting about finding out all this, haha [bang]:
The kit includes:
1-pair of covers for fork with fixing brackets. Installation instructions
1- tail and under tail with taillight specific. Installation instructions
The bodies are fiberglass blanks (to be painted and drill), made of fabric and can also be purchased separately.
Prices:
kit fork outer = 390.00 â,¬
tail kit = 440.00 â,¬
complete kit (+ fork outer tail) special price 750,00 â,¬
Prices do not include VAT
Are not provided in the kit:
headlight
fairing
license plate
Neoprene seat
(keep in mind that the original lighthouse and its brackets are to be replaced or modified to properly seat the fork outer)
To mount the new queue the frame to be cut
The perfect compatibility of the kit tail is only assured on S2R, S4R and S4Rs models because the same thing happens on the fixing of passenger footpeg brackets present on these frames. Therefore I do not guarantee a satisfactory system for mounting on different frames.
NB once the cutting of the frame, if done properly, you can reset it without having to resort to any welding
