Flamingo Corse are doing a special on glass fairings at the moment, good company to deal with. Im waiting on a 22 tank cover which is due in a few months.

Hey man, I just checked their website. Seems like a good option. Have you ever purchased fairings from them? Hows the finish?

I havent but I know someone who got a tank cover for an XX99 and highly recommended them to me.

Andy B, the advantage with glass fairings over the OEM abs ones is that they are rebuildable/ repairable diy even on the day with simple gear, and there's a lot of people around who can work with glass. Also they are a lot tougher and on track you really dont want to chuck your 3k plus carbon pimp my ride .... down the road! Carbon btw is not tough, it's very strong in tension. A lot of the carbon fittings that Ive handled are not built anywhere near as light as they could be if weight was the primary consideration- not surprising as we all know for most "Ducatista" its looks that count 🤣

I’ve never read such bollox that Mickey Mouse ‘racers’ in Mickey Mouse race series should be reliant on the advantage of a few grams weight saving from sone ..... fairings…

Getting back the carbon for a moment, e-glass is nearly as strong just heavier but thats almost irrelevant when skipping breakfast gives about the same weight advantage;


Glass fiber offers many design advantages, especially considering its relatively modest cost. It is much stronger than steel in tensile strength, and almost as strong as industrial-grade carbon fiber. Its high elongation (roughly 5% strain-to-failure for E-glass, compared to carbon at 1.5-2.0%) enables structures to absorb greater impacts or abrasive forces when paired with high-elon- gation resins. In fiberglass composites, the coefficient of thermal expansion can be tailored to be closer to that of aluminum and steel, making it a good candidate for metal/composite structures that see fluctuations in temperature. And the molecular structure of the glass itself makes it more amenable to various coupling agents and sizings. This improves glass fiber’s adhesion to a broad variety of polymers.

To get the most value out of carbon, it has to be engineered and manufactured to exacting standards and theres not many dress up companies that do so, that world is mostly concerned with the outermost twill layer. How many aftermarket carbon swing arms or critical parts do you see and as for wheels there's about 3 players unlike dress up world because its very specialised work.
 
Dear Daphni,

ive heard that the coloured titanium bolts are several grams lighter than the std ones, will they get me higher than 24th on the grid please?

No one is saying weight saving is a factor in deciding which fairings to use, only you are focusing on it. Paying x5-10 the price for something that will break when you take a spill and offers no advantage apart from being prettier is the main point

Looks like you're quite happy with yourself though... Classic keyboard warrior 😂

Have you learnt that track yet in that one track series.......? there is a big world out there you know... looks like your quite limited had to result to classic keyboard insults.. hey ho.

You might re-read the entire thread, because it seems to me you’re the one trying repeatedly to insult the op and derail his thread while the op has generally tried to remain on topic.

Why derailed… certainly not by me
It’s gone from
Exhaust comparability
Are fairings available
Types of fairings available
What fairings are made of
If your not a racer you don’t understand

I’ll leave it then!
