Who wants a 2MA or 1KT fairing?

[Wilf]

Sorry to hear you have not been in the best of health  and hope you are well on the mend, look after youself first then with a bit of luck there will have been enough 2MA owners who have read this post and have shown an interest in good replacement ABS fairings.
As no-one else seems to be making them it does appear to tick the boxes for all involved.

Indeed, gotta wish autoStinger well in recovery.

I may resort to buying a beaten up front upper fairing just so i can mot the bike.

It would be worth waiting for a decent abs front fairing for sure. So I'm still up for seeing if it can be done.

My old fibreglass race fairing was from demon tweaks I think.....back in 2001 
I  could cut holes in it for lights, but it was so thin already, I don't think it would last much longer.

Would be interested in a set Price dependant.
I am in SA so I know shipping might not be cheap.

Hi to all, I'm new on the forum after picking up a 2MA in July of this year and I have been reading the thread on the abs fairing and I to would also be interested in purchasing one if it's a good quality replacement.  The original fairing on my bike is very good but it does have the crack leading to the left hand upper fairing/mirror mount that a couple of other 2MA/1KT's I viewed also suffered with.  Changing the subject slightly has anyone had this area of the fairing successfully repaired/plastic welded previously ?

Yes I'm attempting the same repair and hopefully won't have to keep doing it, my solution if it works is to Dremel away some of the plastic in order to bury and glue in Meccano strips, fingers crossed.

That's a very tidy looking bike Arev2311!

To back up Kev's idea.  Dremeling a groove along the crack and then using solvent to glue in a piece of ABS seems to work well.

I use ABS filament for a 3D printer and a very liquid solvent which works its way into the join through capillary action.  Build it up, then dremel/sand back before painting.

[Arev2311]

Thanks for the reply and advice both Kev and tzar250. I was thinking of trying to strengthen it in some way, had also thought about perhaps trying to extend the brackets somehow to stop any flex.  Let me know how it goes Kev 👍

I would be interested as well, I have bought a fiberglass fairing for my TZR, but the fit isn't perfect.. so a brand new fairing would be lovely!

dremel away a little on the inside
coat with araldite ( the slow one ) and press in some carbon fiber.
when set, rub it down with some 400 grit wet and dry give it a second treatment.

then do the same on the outside

it works a treat and is very strong  i dont know of any other epoxies that stick propperly to abs

i have used  simmilar technique to replace snapped lugs with no problems

OK, its been a while, over a 12 months in fact....where did that bloody year go?

In my defence, its been pretty manic work wise but I am getting back to the point where I a get chance to fart now, but on the plus side I have filled the stable up with some new bikes, I have no more room for any more so need to get some jobs done.
The big winter project is the proposed 2MA rebuild, engine is pretty well sorted its the bodywork, a ciminal abuse of what it was (Performance Bikes Front Cover) to what some A Hole did to it! I will post some pictures so you can see what I mean.

Bottom line is, it needs a new fairing amongst other things but I'd love a decent plastic replica, auto Stinger, who was not in the best of health a year ago did hint that he had the ability to produce such a thing.

Firstly, and most importently, I hope his health has improved, secondly, would he be prepared to look at manufacture of said fairing?
I will PM him to see how things are.

If anone else is at all interested shout up as making a mould is a fair bit of work and doing for half a dozen won't make it cost effictive.

Unless, Someone else is now making 2MA Plastic fairing, which I somehow doubt
or
Has anyone fitted a 3MA or 3XV fairing to a 2MA and found it possible or impossible? as at least these are available in China

[Arev2311]

Yes I'm still interested in a fairing as before 👍

[m in sc]

interested as well. 

[Mojoracinguk]

It would be really interesting to see his approach.
A direct copy would probably mean more people are interested due to the possibility of mixing and matching panels when required.

But if changing the fitment meant easier manufacturabillity (and liklihood of actually getting some made) then so be it 

I'd defo still be interested in pricing.
Mainly in the front fairing sections.

Shop97finland anyone got any feedback on the 2ma fairings?

[wwild]

I bought a rear end for my racing motorcycle from finnland72 and I am very satisfied with the part that was delivered.  If anyone would like to make a replica of the original 2MA fairing, I can offer a new original right hand cowling front piece for molding
