I am guessing Lockhart Phillips used to sell "fastglass" brand, but I am not sure if they still make em?

I'm blanking on the company name now - i just looked at a bunch and it is one you can still get. I like the covering over the engine, but don't like the way junction between lower and fairing because of the curved line. There's a couple of posts in the search with pics of several different types though.

I think they are the cbr 900 rr rear/f3 front combo everyone does wrapped in Dunlop sportmaxs...

Normaly I don't "copy" anyones "look", but this bike is exactly what I am shooting for... I bought the rear already, and I am bidding on front from a vfr... basically the same wheel, may need to machine it a bit on the rotor bosses. I am painting them gold too...

Oh well, you know what they say about "immitation"...

Those look a lot like my Carrozzeria wheels but in gold.

It's not a shark skin lower is it? The CBR 900 RR wheels look cool are is the f3 a 16" or a 17"?

Thumper is an unknown quantity at this point
I got a set of CBR600F2/F3 wheels that look identical to these. I beleive the F3 rear is a little wider and the F3 front does not have a Speedo drive for like the F2 does. I purchased F3 rear as it is wider and a F2 front so i can use the Speedo drive on my CB750F SuperSport conversion to CBR600 wheels and forks. That way i can run 17" radials instead on the old 18/21 bias ply tires.

No, sharkskin is pointed forward like most of them are... I like how this one is less of a fairing and more of just an engine cover. I am wondering about heat issues tho...

OK, I still couldn't remember the name, but this guy is always selling them on ebay. I wrote him once and asked who made it, Powerbronze.

Nope, close but no cigaro...

Powerbronze is longer in the front and rear, and it lacks the little "wing" that matches the wing molded into the Supe's fairing just above the belly pan area...

Still searching!

Mystery Solved

Hmmm, very very close. But the mounting points and hardware are different and it still does not have the molded wing. Maybe a later or earlier version? All the bikes I see with it are always in Europe/UK. Maybe it's something only available there...

EDIT: OK, I found out it is a piece by a company called ART or A.R.T. from the UK or Europe no longer trading...
