Im after a track fairing for my 05 zx6 so i dont ruin a perfectly good bike next time i got to the track.

Ive tried racers edge and they dont do the 05 zx6r

where have people got track fairings for their 05 zx6r's?

i spoke to a bloke from "wet4u race fairings" (dodgy name) today and he wants about $900 for a full set which sounded not too bad until he said "... You just drill holes in the frame and they bolt straight on..."

im not drilling holes in anything - thanks anyway. Im sure they are good fairings but i dont really want to start drilling holes in my nice bike.

so what i am after is a race glass that uses the standard holes and is available in australia.

any advice greatly appreciated

Thanks

Nah they are not that good & he would have ment the raceglass needs holes drilled in them....

Racers Edge are better quality, but if they don't make them....

Slipstream Fairings?
B Components?

Found a couple of sets on E-bay (USA) in both Street and Track set up (street has the headlight and tail light cut outs). and they were pretty cheap $295-$300 US, I was all geared up to get them but the seller went and found out the prices to ship them here. FARK ME!!!!!!!! nearly $800.00 US, not because of the weight but because of the amount of space they take up.

I have a friend over there and we are working on a way of freighting them over more cost effectively.

I just sent an SMS to a mate who might still have the raceglass he bought for his '05 636. He's sold the bike, and, at last update, he still had the glass.

Stand by...
