Track Day Bodywork

I am looking to get a set of track day bodywork. Does anyone have any recommendations, I would prefer to buy from the UK to avoid the postage cost and import taxes.

Thanks

+1, wondering the same. I love how the forum flows. I was reading on whether to track the s1000rr or not, it mentioned insurance. So I read the insurance thread on whether track days are covered, it mentioned an extra set of race body work. Now this one pops up on where to get a nice set of race body work. Nice.

If you're looking for quality, check out sharkskinz.com. Lot of pro race teams use their bodywork, plus they make "street" bodywork also.

are you converting to a track bike only? or are you thinking of swapping the bodywork when you take it to the track and swapping back when you return to the street? Have you also invested in "track wheels" (ala magnesium or CF)?

Check out CRC fairings. They are made in Holland I think but available in the UK from Premium lightweight race and trackday bike fairings, motorcycle bodywork from CRC Fairings.

They are pretty lightweight but more importantly stiff and strong. I really hate the wobbly seat units you can end up with some cheap race fairings. Also they come with an integrated foam seat unit, awesome feature as it's so grippy it lets you be looser on the bars.

Piece of piss to fit too. I test fitted them before drilling the holes but there was no need to really.

I will be swapping back and forward. Not invested in track wheels, why are they so important, apart from the lightness?
