Been looking for a while for this to crop up, its not in very good condition at all. I emailed the seller and he said "some of the holes that join the two fairing on the bottom are gone but its all fixable and also comes with the mounting frame". Just to be 100% sure this is for the honda ns125rk isn't it? Thanks

Depends what you mean by fixable, anything is fixable it just depends on if it is economic to fix it and the standard you consider fixed.

I.e. if you want it to be shiny look like new. Its going to be a lot of plastic welding, patching with liquid metal or gum, sanding, painting, re-sanding, painting, re-sanding, repainting.

Well I want it to look half decent really. I bought the bike with a street fighter front end and not to keen on them. Not to bothered about looking showroom condition just looking good really and standard

Then its up to you...

At the very least I'd fix the mounting points and get some rattle cans to cover up the scars....

All bikes have scars.... well Harley dude a street away doesn't thats because he just polishes it instead of rides it!

[Nope.]

Personally I'd take them, filled the cracks, sand them flat, take some moulds and make GRP copies. Then you can perfect them, spray them and have a lovely set of fairings.

This does presume you have some skill and experience in making GRP moulds and parts.

Yeah would fix the mountings. No not that skilled really and couldn't really afford to get them fixed professionally, so would be me and a friend fixing them up

Hi

Those look like cheap GRP copies rather than original Honda fairings. Be easy enough to bodge up with glass fibre matting and resin.

However I would be surprised if they were not readily available new though.

All the best

Have you tried ringing around breakers to see what they've got? Even better, email them and include pics of the ones you need. I've found it sometimes takes a while to find good body parts for earlier Jap bikes when they're thin on the ground but they eventually turn up somewhere. If you use broken ones, make sure you have the bit that's broken off and avoid ones with breaks in stressed areas - like the mounting lugs, (not easy as that's where they usually go). Repairs aren't too hard but take a bit of practice to get looking tidy.
