You just have to hammer out your own..

And the reply

"Hello Jason,

Thank you for your enquiry. We get our Grievous Angel farings from Japan. The alloy faring kit that we normally use, including the faring, windshield, headlight, and all necessary bracketery to mount the fairing is AU$1750, and we have it in stock. We can also supply the fibreglass alternative kit for AU$1200, however we must first order this in.

Please let me know if you would like one of these kits, or have any further questions. Thank you Jason"

that comes to about $1500 US sounds spendy or heavily marked up.
the search for the maker continues.

In Australia it's know as a Stone bikini fairing, after those in the movie STONE. The one you like has a racing bubble, but the fairing itself is Stone. Have a look on some Aussie sites. Good luck.

PS. Have a look for STONE on YouTube too. Ultimate bike movie. Enjoy.

To me that looks like this one.

not the same

Stone does look like a good one.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2010, 04:58:05 PM »

I am bidding on this one.

Flying J · « **Reply #14 on:** July 29, 2010, 05:43:32 PM »

Good luck, because so am I.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2010, 06:13:11 PM »

I guess this is going to get expensive then

Flying J · « **Reply #16 on:** July 29, 2010, 06:31:31 PM »

You better believe it. I just sold my 550 so i could buy a tank and this fairing.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 01, 2010, 10:32:50 AM »

So, did you get it?
I watched the last biding this morning and did not get involved though

$320.00 not bad!

Flying J · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2010, 01:57:49 PM »

Yeah i got it, and thanks for not making me pay any more because that was my final bid. Its going to look sick with my custom tank from the uk. I think i will also have an aluminum cowl for my cafe seat. Frame will probably be gun metal or silver and i will eventually switch to alloy rims or lesters if i can find them.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2010, 04:44:06 PM »

It would have looked good on my Tracy, but it will better fit your bike.
I knew you wanted it so backed off.

My 1st bid was $200.00 so I'm glad you got it at a good price

fastbroshi · « **Reply #20 on:** August 01, 2010, 09:50:09 PM »

I like it! Please post pics, especially if you get it polished up

754 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2010, 09:57:12 PM »

A windscreen, 10 bux worth of aluminum... and a #$%*load of work...even more work , if its the first time..

Way easier than building a tank ..IMO...

That fairing looks like a Ducati 750/900ss - the '70's one.
