    Fairing blades

    Greetings,

    Is there anything you can do to take the dullness out of a fairing blade?

    If not, where is the best place to purchase a new one.

    (For my ZX-10, BTW)


    Cheers
    NDMZ

    A steel won't do the trick once it's got too far gone, you will need to use a whetstone.....oooooooh you mean fairing blade.....
    Use a good quality rubbing compound that is not heavy in the cutting department & then apply a good quality silicone polish to retain your new shiny look.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Let's not get too excited just yet. My aim is to at least match the RWHP of a Street Magic.

    to fix mine i got 2 lots of cutting compound from supercheap. the first one was a really harsh/coarse one. i thought i had stuffed it from using that one. but then went on with superfine and it bought it out really nice. made it look alot better, could actually see through it after that. if you've got the time and paitence you can make it come out really good.

    Excellent - I'm going to try that method. I guess at the end of the day...if I stuff it I buy a new one.

    the clear thing you look through infront on the bike
    Well what would you do? Run through the streets stark naked at 350 miles per hour with bells on your toes?

    Sorry, should have said fairing screen but I've always known them as blades.
