Is this a custom job?

I stumbled across a video on youtube and I love the way this bike looks, anyone ever seen a kit to do this, or is it a one off custom. I emailed the person that posted it, and no reply

I am wanting to really make the hawk stand out

probably a one-off job, except that i just bought my hawk, and it has a cbr 600rr race upper fairing, previous owner made a custom fairing stay and stuck it on. i'll eventually post up sum pics.

That is a cbr600rr front fairing. The first one I ever saw on a VTR was a pic from a Swedish forum. I would be somewhat concerned about radiator venting since those fairings are for a bike with a traditional center rad.

So, that didn't stop me from adapting them to my 96 VFR which has a center rad:

That's nice work withthe 96VFR.. any pictures of the fairings off the bike?

What kind of foward facing radiator did you use on that bike?

What is it that you want to see?

The 96 has a stock center rad. It wasn't till 98 that they went to side rads like the VTR.

Thanks for the picture, I kinda want to see the radiator from the front of the bike.
What bike is the radiator originally from?

LOL, I think you're missing what he's saying . The radiator on his 96 VFR is stock.

Never seen your VFR superbling. Very nice!

Yeah, but I want to see how the coolant hoses are routed to make the radiator mount facing forward.
