Hi all,
Further to my earlier post, here is a list of questions that I asked the BikesPlast sales representative, along with the verbatim answers I received. I?ve also included some contact details should you wish to ask more.
BikesPlast has also unilaterally offered a 7.5% discount to forum members who quote:
S1000RRFORUM.
Mods, I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules on posting this here? In case there are any cynics out there (apologies in advance if I?ve been scarred by experiences of some other BMW motorbike fora), I have no connection with this company. I?m just a biker looking to buy and fit a set of fairings for the first time.
Hope you find this useful,
CJC
Q&A
- Have you ever had any problems with the stock exhaust melting the fairings? I see you provide heat deflecting foil which I hope is supplied pre-installed?
Yes there is heatproof foil for helping of this problem, anyhow you need to fit the fairing that it is not direct in touch with the fiberglass.
************
- I want to keep the existing rear sub-frame. Does this mean that I have to select OEM seat unit, or do I have an option?
Yes you can keep your OEM subframe
************
- If I select OEM seat unit, does the rear set plastic just fit onto the existing sub-frame?
OEM seat unit and also Racing Seat unit fits both on OEM subframe, in case of OEM seat you will use your own seat from bike, with Racing you should buy also the Seat Foam for gluing on the top.
************
- Do I need the airduct to manage the airflow into the engine, or will the standard OEM parts work?
OEM works, our Air duct is lighter and keep out other components which are not useful for track.
************
- Is the fairing bracket necessary, or will the standard OEM parts work?
It is recommended with air duct
************
- Can I use the original screen with your fairings. Does it fasten straight into place?
Yes you can use OEM screen.
************
- I see some of the pictures on your website show black fins on the fairings, but the main picture doesn?t include these. Are these optional?
There is black rib on the right side fairing included

************
- Does your kit need any additional fitting kits, or does it fasten straight onto the existing original mounting points.
Dzus fasteners are mounted and included. You only need to find some screws to mount the fairings on the bike, that is not included.
************
- Is it possible to somehow retain the OEM kick stand with your fairings?
yes you need to choose the OEM lower fairing
************
- Do you have a UK distributor? If so, please could you provide their contact details.
Yeah sure we can ship it to the UK, but we have to use FEDEX as now is a bit more hassle with POST.
************
- What is your current lead time for manufacture and shipping?
We have business closed next two weeks so the ETA is around mid August approx.
