Smoke fairing protectors??

[EasyRider]

Has anyone seen the fairing protectors which are clear and attach to the large fairing in smoke (tinted?) Would be happy to find the clear for less than $60.00 a piece on pinwall. Mine have what apears to be water marks or rock white stress marks on the which don't come off.

Youll have to educate me on a "fairing protector" When I google it it shows up sport bike stuff. Whats it do? Whats it look like. Got a link?

I think he is referring to the wind deflectors at the bottom of the upper fairing. I have not seen any tinted but have seen a couple sets painted and at least one set Chrome.

OH OK lowers. I have made some of my own before on a 900 Vulcan. They were easy as they were flat lexan. The ones on the forks of the RSV wouldn't be bad. But I dont think the average guy could fabricate the ones attached to the faring.

I've painted the back side of the wind deflectors black for a dark effect. If you spray with a very light touch you could get the smoked effect you're looking for.

I took mine off a long time ago.

I had mine chrome plated at chrome tech in Madison Wi.

Yea, you can definitely spray-paint them (inside)....or you can get tinting film (the one used to tint car windows) and apply to it. You can find different darkness levels at auto parts stores. Or you can do it on a real cheap - stop by the car window tinting place, they will have a bunch of left-overs that will be that size, I'm sure some will be mirror coated too....

I spray painted mine (fairing and forks) on the back side with a gloss black to match the bikes color (2009 RSV). Looks good.

Your right about location and I got the term fairing protectors from the yamaha parts list at partszilla. Will try the window tint suggestion first.

Another way to color many plastics is to boil them in water and RIT dye, the kind made for dying cloths. By varying the time you can decide just how muck tint you want, and can even mix colors to make it match the bike.
