Which fairing is this and where could I buy it?
« on: January 16, 2013, 09:33:46 AM »
Hello all. I would like to find a fairing like this for my Rickman project. The bike in which is installed is a Rickman, but I think that it is one of the latest models, because it has a different tank, although the seat is the usual Rickman. Anyway, I don't know if the fairing was a Rickman fairing or other brand. The fact is that I would like to install one like this on my bike, or anything similar. Do you know where to buy it?

Not sure what bike you have, and I can't really see the front of that bike, but I think you're looking for something like this?

Something a bit closer to the mark but also big $$$.  Glass from the Past and Airtech.

Yea, the GFTP is a much closer match.  The Viper fairing is much bigger up top.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

It is not a viper fairing.  I have the viper and as stated above it is much more "bubbled" at the top than your picture

Looks like a standard Rickman fairing cut down .
Tank looks more like Seally Matchless?

Hello.
Thanks for the replies. Checked at Airtech, but I could not find the same. I think that the one it looks more similar is the Dunstall small fairing. Found it mounted in a Goldwing and it looks quite small and low, which is the look that I'm looking for. I thought that is a Rickman fairing cut down, but I think that the Rickman ones have a bigger glass screen.
Has anyone a picture of a CB750 with the Dunstall small fairing on it?
