VFR400 NC30 question.

[DrunkenMistake]

Ok, So today I picked my new (New to me) VFR 400 NC30, and I noticed it has a nut or something wielded to the frame, ill supply a picture (not of my bike), was wondering if anybody knew what it is used for?
And does anyone know where to get cheap after market fairings, I like the tyga kits, but slightly out of my price range.
Cheers

Chinese fairings from ebay about $700.

You get mixed results from these. They fit ok but there seems to be a common problem with fitting around the tail lights. A lot of people need to use a dremel to get them too fit. Then the stickers can fall off after a year or so. They look good from a distance.

Couple of threads over here about them http://www.400greybike.com/forum/vie...46a64f07a4fe2f

this is my baby,
shes a bit rough on the plastic work, but for a bike the same age as myself, its doing well

[racefactory]

That's what you call plastic a bit rough? damn man that is in mint as condition (or the pics are very misleading)

[DrunkenMistake]

ill take some better ones tomorrow, but there is rash on either side of the bike, and a couple of broken brackets, nothing major I guess, Im pretty picky about small details haha

[sil3nt]

Private or dealer?

That gravel rash doesn't look too bad!

*edit*

Ignore that question just found out.

[DrunkenMistake]

Haha yeah trademe, its not super bad,
But I would still like to get my greasy hands on a tyga fairing kit or one that looks similar haha

try billy at racefarings.co.nz.hell look after you!

Those tyga fairing kits look silly IMO. Its an updated fairing on an outdated chassis. Just doesn't work! I think its the rear end that i don't like. The way the tail points sky high. Probably just the single sided swingarm making it look silly.

I do however think this looks awesome http://www.400greybike.com/forum/vie...lade&start=110

there are a few options of the tail, the ones that stick way up come with a whole new subframe, you can get ones that stick to the stock subframe and look alot better, plus im a pretty short fella, so if I were to go any higher, I wouldnt be able to touch the ground haha

Mine was MINT.

Since then I've fallen off, been hit by a car, got a primed and un painted lower fairing. One mirror.

It's rugged, it's dirty. And I love it.

I may end up painting the whole thing white and doing the wheels black. But it's fine as it is hahaha.
