RVF Fairing

[Wez!!!]

I was riding down the road on the RVF (Tins ex) i was only doing about 60 then the left hand side of the fairing blew straight off . I went back to have a look and Both peices where totaly ripped apart. It wa sthe race fairing that Tin had put on. What i want to know is.......

*If i get a standard fairing will it match the shape of the other side?
*Does anyone know were i get these form, links will be great?
*What is my cheapest option?
*One for TIN, what type of fairng was it that you put on, i know it was somekind of race fairng but what make and how much can i get stickers for the one side for.
Any help will be great.
Thankyoi

It was a Skidmarx fairing and you have no idea how much work I did on it in order to make the damn thing fit!

Did the fairing panel break off, or were the bolts not on properly or something?

I got the sticker kit from https://www.the-image-works.co.uk , so give a bell for replacement stuff.

There's a difference between RVF and VFR fairings mate. I'm in the process of fixing my old ones up, but I'm gonna take a while...

The other problem is that Skidmarx fairings aren't really designed to fit alongside the original plastics.

Sorry Tin!!! I am gutted. The loops where the bolts go through have ripped off the bolts where in fine but the fairing is gona need some tlc. If i get the VFR fairing off ebay will it fit straight onto the front race fairing. I really really need help!!!

Best to give Skidmarx:

https://www.skidmarx.co.uk/contact.htm

...a call/email or something. They list the mid-panels individually, so it should just be a case of ordering a new one. You might be able to get away with their black gel-coat version to save on the spraying afterwards (won't be perfect mind, but then my painting wasn't exactly great).

Did it just ripoff? If so, I'd be tempted to give Skidmarx a phone call

Yep, i had every nut in, even the ones at the bottom which i usually leave out and the thing just ripped like paper, I have got all the bolts and they where all in correct. It does look like it has just been ripped i dont know how else to explain it??? I will call them tommorow and see what they have to say, i cant see myself getting far with them but i will give it go, thanx for the suggestion.

I still have the invoice and reciepts (remember kids: never throw anything away) so I'm sending him that.

Look on the bright side Wez, you can say your bike is so damn fast that it rips its own bodywork off
