Fairings.

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Nelson, Mar 7, 2012.

  1. I did ask this on ISC, but had no response...

    Anyone able to recommend a decent aftermarket fairing supplier?

    I'm after a left and a right side panel. Plus a belly pan for a deep sump motor.
    Need to match up/fit to a standard 748/916 nose...If you follow?

    Anyone had dealings with these chaps?

    Superbike Bodywork for Ducati Road, Track and Race Bodywork

    I don't want to buy something that is made in China and flogged at twice the price in the UK or be a flippin' misery to fit! I hate fannying about with fairings!

    Any input appreciated.

    Cheers

  2. Hi Nelson,

    I've used a few suppliers for fairings (for track or race use only).

    QB Carbon – Good quality but not as good as the OEM panels
    Ricambi Weiss – Cheap and cheerful, much cheaper but also not as good as QB
    BB Plastics – As above

    ARD are supposed to be good but I've never used them so can't endorse them myself.

    Your supplier looks OK, but again, it's difficult to tell from a photo. I hope someone with direct experience comes along to give you some feedback.

    Cheers

  3. Thanks for the pointers, I'll give ARD a call, their websites a bit confusing...:rolleyes:

    Anyone used them or Superbike?

  4. I was looking at Moto CC - Home for some. Looked good, not the cheapest, but not yet know anyone who has, so not sure of fit/quaity.

  5. I have used Superbike bodywork, and am really pleased with it. I have a road mono seat unit on my 748 which is excellent, good colour match and fit, and my mate has a ZX7R with their track fairings on which he seems pleased with.

    I will post photos in my gallery if I ever figure out how.

  6. I have used Superbike bodywork, and am really pleased with it. I have a road mono seat unit on my 748 which is excellent, good colour match and fit, and my mate has a ZX7R with their track fairings on which he seems pleased with. All made in their workshop in Wales apparently.

  7. That's great to hear.

    They are sending me a colour sample - so fingers crossed.

    Let me know if/when you post pics.

    Many thanks...:)

  8. I picked up a second hand set on ebay last night, will collect them soon. I hope they are ok! they did look the part in the pictures. Not 100% perfect, but that's fine by me, they are for track day use anyway. I'll post picture up when fitted.

  10. Agree with comments on QB Carbon. They used to make colour impregnated glass fibre panels. Colour is a good match for Ducati colours, fit and finish quite good. Heavy duty, not cheap and thin.

  11. I'm another with the Superbike bodywork on my 748. Be aware that they have the larger race intakes and the standard air tubes fit but have gaps and look unsightly. I bought the larger intakes from QB carbon
    Cant comment on other models
