Fitting track fairings-help needed

[p-trax]

I have a full set of 2012 fairings from these guys:

http://www.motogpricambi.com/

I purchased an MRA screen to fit the nose fairing, but it seems too narrow. There's not really enough inward flex in the fairing to fit.
in addition the air intake funnel doesn't appear to fit and the side panels do not line up with nose fairing mount points (about 5cm out!)
So far so crap

after numerous emails to the vendor, they refuse to accept there could be any problem with the fairings.
their advise was to buy their screen, €90 later the screen arrives and is even narrower than the MRA, there is absolutely no way it fits.

Again the vendor can only suggest user incompetence!

am I being a complete dork?

anyone experienced similar issues?
could it be that the nose is a pre 2012 unit ( I guess the real question is "are there any differences in the nose cone between years? - I thought it was just side panels?)

a picture of their custom screen held in position, not only is it too narrow, but the mounting lugs are at totally the wrong angle, which you can sort of see in the second pic

dont know if i have looked at this right but it looks like they have sent you the screen off one year and the fairing off another

your screen fits this



and your fairing is this



click on pics for bigger

just my thought

Had the same problems with CRC fairings. Nothing fitted nicely. They were such a poor fit I sent 2 sets back. Much like you, I was to blame due to my fitting skills and not the fairngs.

Iv been fitting fairngs for years, the fairngs I had were shit and it certainly wasn't down to my fitting skills.

Try and and get a refund and go for a different make.

*note to self* - do not buy fairings from Motogpricambi

Did you Pay using Paypal ?
If so Raise a Complaint through them to get a Refund.

I'm determined to make them fit, far too stubborn to give in

i bought the dr161 from ricambi and a £20 dubble bubble from hong kong. The fairing i have to say was a good fit, just needed trimming top edge of belly pan around cases and side fairing around frame, wasnt rocket science. The screen fitted the fairing (with a little flexing) but had to cut off the bottom end (like the mra) coz it flicked up like a ducks beak lol ! No big deal, i figured as it was track wasnt important......

its slow going isnt it , gotta cut out for my side stand now , doing that i lose the only bracket hole at that point so gotta do some inventing , what a ballache

 

[p-trax]

That's looking bloody gorgeous mate

 

[fatbob]

Yeah but I don't think there will be much paint left by the time it's all screwed on :/

Hello, now we did new fairings for s 1000 rr and now there aren't problems. Sometimes with some BMW there were problems on the fitting, but now is everything ok.

In which case i strongly suggest you give P-Trax a FULL refund and/or supply him with the bodywork that you now say does fit.

Well said hoops

I dont mean to gang up on this company and i respect the fact theyve come on here and replied to the issue directly - but i hope they resolve the problems p-trax is having in a satisfactory manner - they will gain a lot more on here by doing so. Good luck with it.

Hi p-trax, i know this is an old thread, but i'm looking into track fairings now and was wondering if they replaced the poor fitting fairings, and what the fit was like on the new ones? thanks

Not a lot of help but I've suffered problems with various race fairings.

For me I will only ever buy Alpha or Cruciata.

Both makes fit perfectly

I just received another set, for 150squid and a 'little' trimming they're good enough for track
