Carbon Fibre Fairing Insert Panels - Interest in Group Buy?

[Falcon 269]

I had a couple of owners ask me on my last 'Ivanising' visit about carbon fibre fairing insert panels.  With the standard plastic ones being prone to cracking, I wondered if anyone else might be interested in a group buy of these from Zero Limits.

I've e-mailed the company this morning to ask if they'd be willing to do a group order price, possibly to include the airbox side panels and the radiator side covers.

In the meantime, if you're interested, please register your name here so that I have some idea of the numbers when Zero Limits come back to me.

Cheers!

mike being a bit of an expert on this stuff as had 5 sets over the years i'd check the quality for yourself first the set i viewed wasn't what i'd fit to my bike and as yet not seen a set as good as the ones i had from the states

carbon is a hard product to make and unless the moulds are vac'ed there are air bubbles and pits in the finish

then there's the lay of the weave the fairing inners are very complex with there angles to get the weave correct

now granted i havent seen any of late from this company but you might wanna check first

this was the type of quality to beat









perhaps they can supply a sample or a discount on the first set before you commit to a group purchase

just my ramblings

Not a bad price really considering I just spent the best part of £50 to replace one panel, however these wouldn't be for me as I like to keep the bike as close to original as I can.
Just wandered if anyone has tried reinforcing the underneath of these panels with a fibreglass kit? It's something I'm considering doing this winter, just unsure as to whether the resin will have any negative effects on the pastic !?!

  :'(  i wish i had known about this 3 weeks ago! ive placed a order with zero limits for fairing infill panels / air box covers / and side panels, i was told about 6 weeks to complete however every company ive had dealings with recent dont stick to what they tell you time wise !! so ill await and see and trust me if there not right or poor fitting they'll get sent back..

Im more than happy to post up how good they are before you spend your dosh and tbh if they are good enough for me ther will be they will be top dollar im fussy!  and i will give my honest opinion regarding condition and value for money.

Dave.

I already decided that i would go for these when a link to zero limits was posted on here . if you guys go for a group buy count me in !

Hi Mike, i put a link to this company on the old foc u site, but i have been waiting 4 weeks on my air box covers and radiator guards, so i would possibly wait until i have received mine to check quality and service before commiting. I have been getting different answers every time i have contacted them. They didnt answer the phone for 3 days! Apparently they got lost with parcel farce [img alt=smiley: frown]http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/frown.gif[/img] I am supposed to be getting them in the next 2 weeks. I will update the minute i have them. Cheers, Nick.

oh sounds like another company ive used recent for my forks however with em 4 wks turned into 3 months!! when i ordered mine stuff from zero they asked for full payment i agreed that due to there time scale i was only happy to pay deposit and the rest on completion this they agreed, and they did say it will take 6 weeks.

There's a company on evilbay thats based in germany that sell all this stuff and has it in stock but! its more money this will be my 2nd option if zero mess me around

Is this the company, Dave?

If so, same photo as Luke's above. 

I've noted everyone's experiences of Zero Limits so far and will see what they say if/when they get back to me. 

Feedback on quality from those with parts ordered would be much appreciated.  And yes, if it's good enough for Dave, it's good enough for us all.  :lol

Yes Mike thats em, (www.superbike24.eu) ive brought from them in the past and could not fault there stuff and was very happy with the quality.

OK, it's looking like about 8 - 10 at present subject to price and quality.

I'll keep you all posted on developments.

Zero Limits have offered us a group buy discounted price of £99.99 for the fairing inserts and £60 for the airbox covers.  Price is per pair of parts.

I think that's a good price but I have let them know that some of our forum members are awaiting delivery on the orders they made some weeks ago and that the delay is causing concern to all here.  I've also pointed out that the members in question will be reporting back on quality and that this will be the clincher or deal-breaker.

Finally, I've asked how long it will take from placing the order to shipping the parts and how much deposit will be required up front.

sounds good to me
