A16 Road 'N' Race Supplies

The fairings are made to order and arrived within the specified timescale.

Everything was very well packaged and it was obvious straight out the box that it was a quality set.

Fit  the  kit  as  it  arrives  out  the  box.  

The  important  thing  to  so  is  to  take  your  time.  You  need  to  line  everything  up  and  drill  the  holes  in  the  correct  places.

I  measured  7  times  and  drilled  once.  All  the  main  mounting  points  are  the  same  as  a  standard  bike  but  the  belly  is  held  with  race  fasters.

This is the fun bit. Choosing a colour. James suggested a matt black as you can blend it really well if needed. I lightly sanded all the panels and painted the inside black first. I added mesh to some of the vents and the primered everything using Halfords paints. The matt black went on perfectly and looks fantastic.

I  added  2  coats  of  paint and  then  decided  to  do  a  top  coat  of  Halfords  matt  lacquer.  

I  should  have  read  the  reviews,  it was  a  nightmare,  it  put  a  white  haze  on  a  panel. 

I  could  have  cried,  but  waited  for  it  to  dry  and  then  sanded  it  off.  I  then  repainted  the  matt black,  binned  the  lacquer and  left  it  to  dry.

Less is more right? I kept the decals to a minimum, just enough to make the bike look complete. The race numbers were an eBay purchase and the others were  in  a cupboard from bike shows.  I  knew  I’d  use  them  eventually!

It came out far better than I thought possible. I’ve done 5 track days and its still like new. Nothings cracked or weakened, and the panels have been removed at least 25 times. I won’t be trying anywhere else for panels, I’m particular, and I highly recommend giving A16 Road ’N` Race a call.

• I can't fault any part of the product or the process in buying it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from A16 in the future.

• NOTHING TO REPORT!
