Topic: European source for RC166/172/181 bodywork?

[paulages]

I'm having a hard time sourcing bodywork state side for a customer's project and am hoping some of the European guys racing 500s might have some leads for me. We'd prefer not to go with CR750 bodywork as it's not quite right. Terry at Hansen Honda has a mold for the fairing, but his fiberglass guy died last year and he hasn't found a new fiberglasser yet.

I'm looking for an alloy tank, fiberglass seat, and fiberglass fairing.

Have Airtech nothing you could use Paul? How come Terry can't find anyone capable of making one if he already has the mold, it's not rocket science?

Sam.

We don't want to use a fiberglass tank if we can get away with it. Not sure about the mold... you're right, it's just probably a matter of motivation and time.

Hi, Paul

Take a look at my site under 'glassfibre parts', have a nice copy of the RC181 fairing in the program.

Cheers, Rob

Forwarded your link to my guy. He'll probably contact you directly and have it shipped to me, as he's in Hong Kong. Now I just need a tank...

I think the concern of a non-metal tank has to do with fire (speaking of, my fiberglass Norton tank caught on fire the other day...) and street legality. Plastic or FG could be a short term solution though.

What what?  Regarding the Norton? It backfired through the pod filter (dual Mikunis) and caught the filter and the bottom of the tank on fire. I quickly grabbed the filter and threw it down the alley, and managed to pat out the tank fire before any damage was done. WHEW!

Will RC163 replicas do? I have a full set in alloy including fairing for sale made by the ex-armourer of the Queen's own household cavalry!

Holy crap that's beautiful! How much?

With the risk of asking the world's dumbest question ever.
Is there any geometry data or partslist information of the 3RC164/RC165/2RC165/3RC165/RC166/RC166N/RC174?
I've read that the wheelbase of the RC166 was 1400mm but is that the same for all the above?
