Anyone seen this cafe racer kit for a curvy? I like it. I'd even go so far as to buy a curvy just to have this fitted!

What are your opinions?

I know for sure the first one is a photo shop job... though I'm not to sure on the second one.

No not seen them before, very old dolphin fairing "esk".
Now I like that, well the fully faired anyway, shame I'm not into them anymore, would have been a project.

Cheers Mark.

Never seen one in the flesh... The fairings are real enough, just the pics are touched up for the spokes, drums, etc, and I think also the colours. Twinshack sell 'em in the UK if you're interested, much easier than dealing with Poly 26, who are French and therefore genetically disinclined to actually sell you their products.

Northwind: "Parlez voux anglais?"
Poly 26: "NON!"
Poly 26 hang up.

And yep, I think they're ace. They do good regular fairings as well, their lowers for the curvy are the nicest seperates out there I think. Way nicer than the official ones.

I like the fully faired one. Could be modded for a Barry Sheene replica ?

Are these actually bespoke fairings? That looks an awful lot like like a Ducat Sport 1000S fairing. I love them - it's just the curves. Sat on one at the London Bike Show- fell in love with it just as much as the 1098. 11BHP less than the SV, but how stylish?!

Yeah, they've been making them for years... Both based on the same classic race bikes, so they'd naturally be similiar.

Its better than trying to dodge bits of it lying in the track like last year anyway:smt103

:smt045 I imagine so :) Was that bits dropping off, or bits being broken off? I find it incredibly hard to believe that bits would randomly fall off a Buell :D
