Carbon nose 749/999 WITHOUT top vents

  1. That'd be a 999R nose then. I have the whole fairing set in Carbon, ready to be painted Black but would rather have the nose fairing without the top vents. Missed one on eBay over a year ago and haven't seen one since.
    Anyone got one they want to sell, or swap for a vented one?
     
  2. Not completely correct, bikes made post 2005 had the revised nose cone which only have the lower vents. This was to try to make the overall design a little more appealing in a big to sell more 749/999's. I have a set of 2007 plastic fairings which have this style of nose cone.

    Good luck with your search.
     
  3. As do I, but I'm after carbon. Er, completely correct then! ;)
     
  4. Thanks Kope, I have looked at the Ilmberger option but they have that weird cutout around the lights, presumably for a sheet of perspex or similar. I'm after as close the the original as possible, in shape.
     
  5. Thanks but it is for the road.
     
  6. Sorry those ones Kopey mentioned are £420 :eek: , may take a while for ebay to come to your rescue for a more reasonable price though.
     
  7. The last 999R genuine part I saw on eBay was £299. Was away for the weekend & missed it. Turns out they're hen's teeth.
    At this point I'd pay £400 for a new part but the Ilmberger has this weird thing going on (recess around lights):

  8. Not hugely optimistic bump...
     
  9. Have you seen this?

    I would say the only thing to think about would be if it has the same profile as OEM carbon where the nose fits to the side panels?
     
  10. I have, thanks. Still holding out for 999R OEM rather than 3rd party I'll need to drill.
    The fit to the side panels would really bother me if not right too.

    Patience required I guess.
