Keith,
I wish I could tell you how I did it. I was easy but easy to me my not be easy to you. I plan in the near future to start selling the F3/R1 upper on the internet.So I need to keep some trade secrets to myself. So if everything flys like I hope I will let you know.

If you can make a R1/F2 upper i would spend up to 300.00 cash right now.

you gotta get this going man, save the classics.

oh and a new tail section, something that looks like a RR

Hey everyone,
I talked with my friend and he said that the factories here want to make a big deal about this fairing and charge around 100,000 just to mass produce it. So I guess this little venture is out of the window. My friend did find a shop that would make each fairing by hand for around 1400.00 which is still to much. I am thinking of making some fairings in my spare time by hand but I would only be able to make some many in a given time frame, only make them for the F3, and you will have to provide your old fairings and a new R1 , CBR F4I or other similar fairing you would like molded. I would charge around 500 for the a custom fairing. Each fairing has to be cut a certain way and then mounted to my F3 to ensure that everything will come out right once it is finished. So I sometime I a playing with. But for now I am very busy with my job and church.

I wonder why you would say my fairing is ugly while so many others have told me that its a great modification for the F3. I am a engineer by trade so I am not going to get into streamlining and aerodynamics. I did not make this fairing for those purposes. I made it because I wanted a updated look for my bike. So if you can't look at my skills as a fabicator and say anything good then you should not say anything at all.

okay i dont mean to sound out of place here but i have a 87 VFR where i am converting to a cbr f2 front and rear end, and i personally love the r1 front end. if you can do something with the older vfr to current am sure you would get many more purchasers. you can definitely count me in...as far as the other posters who are hating on your work....like the comedian katt williams says, YOU NEED HATERS...haters makes you shine...man keep doing your thing...and look into some other bike combination....this can really be a big improvement for a lot of people.

My opinion, if you dont like it, so what to each their own. Youve said youre piece so now it would be the courteous thing to keep your mouth shut.

Well thank you for the comments. But the only problem is that in order to do custom work on a bike I have to have the bike in front of me. I live in south korea and sportbikes are not plentiful ready here in my area. The prices on the sportbikes stay high and I mean high and there is no such thing as financing for a sportbike here in korea. Its cash up front because insurance companies here do not cover sportbikes if you wreck. So I decided not to buy a used bike straight out because the prices stay high I had my F3 shipped from the states. Plus the bikes are moved from this shop to that shop, sold one day and sold back to a different dealer. Plus when they see a american walking up the price goes up a few thousand dollars. Trust me I know here is a example of the prices in korea ( 2005 Repsol CBR 1000 wit front damage and front fairing missing 13,000 dollars ) So this is the reason why I have my F3 because if I wreck then parts are cheap on ebay and labor is cheap here so I don't take a big hit. So finding a older VFR here in korea is like finding a needle in a hay stack. So as long as I am here in korea I will work with my F3 and if this fairing thing works out I will move to the 900 RR because I see them all the time but VFR have not seen one yet. When I get back to the states and settle down I will make my garage into my little shop and make FULL CUSTOM FAIRING KITS for different bikes.
