RidersDiscount Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) The SharkSkinz name is legendary when it comes to motorcycle bodywork and that’s not just because they’ve been the chief bodywork supplier to top AMA teams for years, but because the quality is readily apparent from fit to prepping for paint to durability. And factory teams are picky about the quality of the parts they use – nothing but the best will do! We’re convinced too – this is the same bodywork that we use on all of our own racebikes.All SharkSkinz race (and street!) bodywork is made using their proprietary blend of epoxy resins, primers and woven cloth for a perfect fit with no filing, cutting or MacGyver antics required - straight out of the box. In addition, they make it easy by including any specialized hardware, spacers or brackets when it’s required so you’re not up until three in the morning fabricating brackets to hang the bodywork properly when you should be resting for your day at the track!Many art masterpieces have been lost over the ages because the canvas they were painted on couldn’t stand the test of time. To relate it to motorcycles, why would you skimp on bodywork if you’re going to pay good money to have it painted beautifully? SharkSkinz is perfect for custom paint applications because they are finished at the factory with a urethane primer – not a thick gel coat (which is used because it easily fills poorly molded bodywork!) that can crack or peel over time. Your expensive paint job won’t spider web or show stress cracks after the first time you ride with it on – something we’ve seen in other bodywork out there. Your painter too, will be thankful since SharkSkinz requires minimal prep time – all it needs is a little scuffing and it’s ready for paint.We all know crashing isn’t fun but it’s here where we’ve found another aspect of SharkSkinz that we really like – the fact that it doesn’t turn to dust when your bike hits the ground. Because it’s flexible, when stress is applied to one area of the bodywork – like the upper fairing, for example, you’re less likely to find fractures where it mates with the belly pan after a crash. Again, this goes back to the quality of materials and we can’t say enough about how good this bodywork really is. It’s easy to install, easy to paint and it stands up to crashing better than just about anything else on the market.SharkSkinz motorcycle bodywork is sold as either a complete kit or individual replacement pieces – so you can start with a completely fresh set of bodywork, or simply replace that which has lost its luster. Some models are available with cut-outs for OEM headlights and taillights. Whether this is your first set of bodywork, or your fifteenth – you won’t be disappointed with what you get straight out of the box.SharkSkinz fairings are not yet available on our website. Call Mike at 866.931.6644 ext 804 to get a set of this bodywork shipped to you fast. If you have any questions, please send us an email: FORUM at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM is the address with SHARKSKINZ in the subject line along with the year and model of the bike you’re riding and we’ll get back to you right away.Some manufacturers don’t tell you that you need to fabricate brackets or source odd spacers to make their bodywork fit, not SharkSkinz. Here, they’ve included quick take-off upper fairing stay brackets and spacers. This makes getting the uppers on and off much easier.Optional anti-draft kits are also available.It’s possible to order SharkSkinz with or without pre-drilled Dzus fasteners. We prefer to have them installed at the factory since they line up perfectly.Having this done beforehand saves a LOT of time and eliminates any error in alignment by the installer; everything fits together perfectly.Another detail that’s often over-looked by other bodywork manufacturers are fitment issues that require you to cut or file the bodywork just to get it to fit. Sharkskinz makes sure you don’t have to! Take for example this cutout in the lower fairing for the OEM coolant hose. It’s little differences like these that can add up to big savings in time and frustration when installing your bodywork!All of this adds up to a motorcycle that looks excellent when it’s painted!

RidersDiscount Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) To a painter, be his media a canvas, a brick wall or, in this case - bodywork, the surface on which the paint is applied makes all the different in the final product. To that end, SharkSkinz has no equal. There are no pinholes to be filled or rough joining surfaces to sand smooth - a few minutes spent with fine-grit sandpaper is all it takes to prep SharkSkinz bodywork for a gorgeous looking bike. That's why the best looking bikes wear SharkSkinz fairings! Edited August 15, 2013 by RidersDiscount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 is it possible to get a complete set of track fairings for an 07 600rr with a street front instead of the track front with the pre drilled dzus fasteners? If not, a quote for a whole track fairing with pre drilled dzus fasteners would work too. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidersDiscount Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 We’ve always used Sharkskinz bodywork on our AMA and project bikes for many reasons. Two of these are the perfect fit and paint-ready finish right out of the box, while a third is something that you hope you don’t have to test - durability. Unfortunately, we have been able to crash test multiple sets of Sharkskinz bodywork.Believe it or not, both of the photos below show the same set of bodywork on one of the Riders Discount Triumph Daytona 675R’s ridden by Joey Pascarella in the AMA Daytona Sportbike series this year. The first shows it looked like after a lowside at roughly 75 MPH during race two at Road America. The second is the same piece after some fiberglass filler and fresh paint. With experience like this, we can say with absolute certainty that it holds up exceedingly well.Get in touch with Nathan at 866.931.6644 ext. 809 to order a set for your bike today!Right after a 75 mph lowside at Road America.The same fairing after some filler and a fresh coat of paint.

serpentracer Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I never had a set of sharkskin because I'm poor. but I can honestly attest their quality. I have painted several sets and they are very well made.cheap stuff always has air pockets that made it to the outer layer and it's basically a hole in the surface. I have never found one of those on sharkskins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidersDiscount Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 The quality of Sharkskinz bodywork is apparent before you even take it out of the box. Upon opening the package, you won’t see any of the bodywork itself. This is due to the excellent packing job done by the experts at Sharkskinz. Pulling away the paper reveals the bodywork, and you will immediately see what we’re talking about. The edges are smoothly finished and the backside doesn’t have the thick coat of resin that is found on some other brands. This thin coat makes for a more flexible body that can withstand a crash better than it would if it were overly stiff. Here’s a look inside the box of a set of Sharkskinz bodywork to illustrate what we mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidersDiscount Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The mold of the intake is nearly identical to the stock shape so there is no need for a rubber gasket or any kind of additional modifications to make this work like you might need to do with some other brand's bodywork. Just another example of Sharkskinz quality, give MIKE a call to order a set for yourself today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
