Contact Glendale Buell. They have the first set of Catalyst bodywork on their racebike. They used their bike as a loaner to Catalyst for tooling and fitting-up. There are some pics around here of their bike with Catalyst bodywork |

Bob_Thomson (I think it was him) bought a Catalyst Composites set and put it on his 1125R |

"Search" on Badweb is your friend. Try "Catalyst" http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/393153.html |

Andrew(Adoogie3), here, picture below, is what I did with Catalyst's lowers only I bought through Glendale HD/Buell. I wanted to be able to remove it easily for maintenance or to revert back to naked is I wanted to.

Andrew, check out the archives. I cannot remember the name of the thread but I did a nice write-up on brackets, etc. with some nice pictures. I believe it was under "lowers mounting" of July 30th,08. Bob |

The Catalyst composites lower fairing was $284.65 total from Glendale in California. Fairing was $226, tax a rip @ 8%+ in Calif. & shipping was $40.00 worth of popcorn to insure solid delivery. Bob |

This weekend at Las Vegas I got to visit with the Latus team. They use Catalyst. Looks real good. Easy to mount, two piece upper and lower, and the glass appears to be a thicker. |

Called and ordered. I will be one of the few first to get the "street lower" not the supersport. They said it will bolt right up to the pods but I do need to make brackets for the rear. They are making it at the moment so it will be three weeks to get. |

Thats good news Justin, should make it easier to do an installation. Who ever said we do not have a positive input to companys with our talk here on BadWeb. Good to see companys stepping up to our particular needs even with our relatively low sales in units per year. Please post pictures when you are finished with yours and let us know how it went. Bob |
