Making a seat cowl is easy. But the thing is I am here in korea there are not alot of sportbikes around. Its very expensive for the average korean to own a sportbike. So I would need a F4I here to base the cowl off of so that I get it right. I work on a army base
so far I have seen only a handfull of sportbikes not including the ones my co-workers ride. If I get this little fairing venture going
then I plan to make a new tail fairing for the F3 so who knows. Sorry I could'nt help out.

Thanks for the reply. All my fairings that were sitting in my backyard have been stolen. Over five hundred dollars in F3 and R1 fairings just gone. I cant understand it because nothing like this has every happen. My neighbors over here in korea usaully dont mess with me or my stuff but someone took them. There are alot of korean people that walk around looking for materials to recycle and I am sure someone saw them and helped themselves to the fairings thinking there were scrap plastic. So my little projects over here are on hold until I get some replacement fairings. But I am not going to let this stop me from getting a custom upper to the factories for a qoute for reproduction. Wish me luck and hope knowone steals the next upper and plastics.

I was going to convert my bike to the 2001-2003 upper and tail but I like the 600rr or the 1000rr way better. I have a 2000 Cbr F4, do you think you could do that? And how hard is it to splice in the headlights?

Well, to be honest your bike is not that old as the F3 so changing it I suppose is you own desire. The 600RR or 1000 fairings look great but molding is alot of work unless you are just going to change plastics. So keep that in mind. Splicing in a headlight is easy just compare the to wire harnesses and go from there basic wiring is all that is needed.

When I come home from my job I look in the spot that the plastic where and I get up set. Its really not the plastics that make me upset its the fact that I have to start all over with my mod. I have another set of plastic at home in St. Louis but they are the targa type made of the plastic/fiberglass mix. I dont know if they will take very well to molding and plastic welding. I guess I will send for them because a new set of plastics is not cheap. Also I will put them back in the house when I am done for the day instead of leaving them in the yard. My girlfriend is korean and she speaks perfect english and she is doing all the communications with the factories. The factories say bring in the fairing to get a exeact price qoute. I want to make sure the fairing that will be reproduce is as perfect as I can get it so I will do a great job on the next fairing.

Well the tail plastic is from SharkSkinz.com. I paid 225.00 bucks for it. The underseat exhaust is custom, I got the 600RR canister from ebay and had some pipe sized and bent. The solo tail works with the stock CBR 600 F3 seat so you dont have to modify it but in my case I have a flasher unit installed under the tail section so I had to cut a section of my seat away to make room for the flasher unit.

Oh...thought you did all the plastic on that bike...

You could...

BTW...I have an F2...and am either going to stick with what I am doing with a simple seat cowl and some foam shaping,
or go with an aftermarket whole tail section...

The solo tail on my bike also works with the F2. I have seen it on many pictures of the CBR F2. Sharkskinz and Airtech make a solo tail for the CBR F2 and F3. Check it out.

hey valkie did you just mold an r1 upper to the f2/f3 upper? and how did you get them to stay did you use a r1 upper fairing stay and get it to connet to the lower f2/f3 fairing stay? I think I might try this if i can get some more info.
