carbon fiber chin fairing

Does anyone know of someone who makes a stock style chin fairing in carbon fiber? I searched and came up empty handed.

Um... He said "stock style"...

And to answear it... No, I don't believe there are anyone making a stock style one in CF... The availability for aftermarket parts for our bikes is almost non-existant in comparasion to the more popular bikes to own and customise...

I would guess that the only way to get one like that is to make it yourself, or have a company make it custom for you...

Thanks RWhisen, but I am looking for stock appearance(style)

Tweety- When you get it right the first time, it doesn't leave much room for the aftermarket! Nah, seriously, this is the 3rd SH that I have owned so I know that the aftermarket sucks for them. I thought that I had seen one the last time I owned a hawk, but that has been a while. I guess I will search to find someone who can make one...... any suggestions?

Knowing this, I offered the only thing I could find since our bikes are not really "hot" items for mods. If he had a Gixxer, his options would seemingly be limitless.

Perhaps make a mold from an existing chin fairing?

I have an old issue of road racing world at home where they did some mild hop ups to the then new superhawk, including a stock shaped chin in carbon fiber. I forget who they got it from-maybe two brothers or erion, but I'm sure it's been long discontinued.

The first 2 pics don't show much detail, but pic 3 & 4 are good.

No problem . As i said, it is pricey. But it is a complex shape & i have heard he does do good work. I was thinking of getting 1 one day. But it is a lot of $$$$ for a small piece.

I'm sure, like me you've paid as much or more and didn't get a "piece".
