Honda RC181 replica fairing
« on: September 22, 2018, 07:01:59 PM »
Hi,

Does any one know where I could get a good replica CR181 fibreglass fairing for a 500-4 race bike I am building.

Paddy.

D&M Engineering do a nice one, I've had one off Dave.
I've also had another one off Davies Motorsport. John's is equally as good. Both have their differences, Depends what style you like.

Both are reasonably priced too!

You could also try http://www.race-products.co.uk/

I think they had a mould for this back in the day.

Hi Chaps,

I too am searching for a decent RC181 replica faring, for my CB550 build.

Paddy, did you have any joy in finding something suitable?

I have spoken to D&M and have had no joy there.

The only option seems to be the one from Motoforza, however, a, in the pics the shape doesn't look quite right (to my eyes anyway) and b, I've heard that it may be too narrow for a 500/550.  Has anyone had any experience with a Motoforza one?

The only other option as far as I can see would be to look to have one made in Aluminium, obviously an expensive option.  Has anyone done this?  Can anyone recommend anyone who has made one?

Regards

Alan Millyard has just built a replica Honda 4 racer with an all aluminium fairing. I saw it at the NMM during the recent open day. You could maybe contact him and find out where he had it made although knowing Alan he probably made it himself!
What about trying John Davies racing, they build replica Honda 4 racers?

1999 Honda VFR 800FX
1955 750 Dresda Triton

1978 Honda CB400/4 'Rat' bike
1982 Laverda 120 Jota
