996 Fairings Which Are Best?

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by Simon-Ducati, Oct 22, 2015.

  1. Hi guys as some may know I just bought a lovely 996 of Tim cooksters mate. I'm on the look out for some road fairings I'm not putting headlights in just want daytime mot. As we all know track fairings are very flimsy and don't always fit that well. I had a 748 and the belly pan was in 2 halfs. I've found out there's another version where the belly pan is a 1 piece. Are these panels all interchangeable with each other? Any opinions on which are the better?

  3. I. Have some from superbikebodywork.Co.uk on my 748, had to drill holes for mirrors which I cocked up so looks awful when I take them off, covered by mirrors though luckily. Other than that they fit spot on and look great. I thought they seemed too cheap to be quality but I'm happy. Been on a couple years and still look good.
    I'll post pic when Im home if you like

  4. How much did they cost joe? Nelson put me onto a company in Swansea they do a fairing set for £279 coloured with number boards. They are as thick as oem.

  11. How do I find that? Thing is if they need painting to be mint it's cheaper to buy the new ones. Does yours come with tail unit?

  14. Just to give you a bit more information. The ones I mentioned don't have any heat proofing like the oem ones do but don't seem to suffer any for it. Just I remember being concerned when they arrived but like I said they seem built to last. Also for the £279 that doesn't include seat
