Anybody buy 696/796/1100 Tank fairing's from China?

Probably pie in the sky, but I found a fabricator who will take a look at the Woodcraft and consider if he could fashion an aluminium version.  No idea of cost though!

[Anchorism]

Woodcraft ordered - if I can replicate Anchorism's sanding job and remove the centre stip + a nice custom paint job, then I will make my little Monster one step more unique.

just make sure you reinforce the bottom side of it well.  Youll see what i mean when the tank gets there.  It shouldnt be too difficult to do.

Oh and i will be working on updating the photos again today... I didnt have much time the other night.

Do you mean reinforce the bit you sanded down or the whole tank cover?

The back of where I sanded it down.  From the bottom side you can probably fill in the area where the rise is and I would bet it would be fine.

Thanks. I think I'll try and consolidate this topic to your other thread, to save us both repeating ourselves.

Here they are:



Now to decide what colour to paint them?

(I tried a dozen places to see if they could fabricate something similar in metal, but had no luck.  I have one more avenue to try, but these are actually such good quality I am not too disappointed)

[StephenC]

If I can follow in Anchorism's footsteps and lose the central raised stripe, I was thinking of a gloss black with an off centre white stripe, like my helmet.

I think I will stick with the Ducati twin line logo ion the sides, if I can find the right decal.  I would likely repaint my pillion seat cover to match but don't think I will bother with the bikini fairing or front fender (I like the carbon fibre there as it is).  What do folks think?

I have purchased one of these Chinese Ebay Fairing kits.

Ask me any questions.

[StephenC]

Thanks for the reply.  Were you pleased with them?  Any fitment issues?

In the end I went for a more bespoke solution: see here

Your welcome. 

Yes, I'm very pleased with them.  Everything fit super good.  Looking at the oem fairings I took off and these, the quality is so close I can't tell a difference. 

When I ordered them, I could tell they were made to order.  The sellers, sent me pics asking if I liked the paint quality.

So far, All I get is compliments on the finish and look.

Hope your happy with yours!

DUCATI ON!
