Until I destroyed the racer, I used the Sebimoto bodywork (The one in the pic below is glass with carbon/kevlar reinforcements, not the full carbon/kevlar as shown in your pic)  I'm assuming you're talking for a racer and not a streetbike? You still need the bellypan, windscreen and you'll have to fabricate your mounts (except the uppers which use your existing XB fairing stay) It looks "wrong" without the bellypan. If you are going to want to use lights, you are going to have to adapt. Not familiar with any Sebimoto bodywork for the Buells which have light cut-outs. | ||

My advice, go with the Hal's kit. He will sell you mounts for it too. And it comes with the belly pan and rear solo seat cover. Here's a pic of mine before it got some paint added. Oh, and it has headlight openings as well as the recessed area around the headlights. (Message edited by terribletim on April 16, 2008) | ||

The Hal's kit is much better suited for street use. The left side is set for the race oil cooler which also requires different ducting and mounts. I've heard that street riders have used their stock oil coolers without any problmes. With the Sebimoto, you're on your own. With Hals, you get a ready to mount and ready to paint set of pieces that will also mount WITH your lights. That's kind of what I was asking about above. Hals bodywork is made by Sharkskinz but sold exclusively by Hals. | ||

This would be for the street and the lights would need to be cut out. I don't know how well the light adaption would be able to be executed. I just expected the heat resistance of the CF would be better than the FG with the exhause being close but header wrap and heat resistant tape would help the FG live I suppose. I am getting an '09 that I'm ordering (overseas military) and heard the oil cooler is bigger than previous models, is this the "race cooler" of old? Is that the cooler that require different ducting mounts? BTW, Slaughter, where's the pic taken at? Ventura Co.? Ever ride Ojai? I would like to get stationed at Port Hueneme for that reason. | ||

Something to think about. The temperature is limited by the resin used, not the fiber. The "race" oil cooler is a totally different cooler. It's mounted on the side of the left tube weldment. Air is ducted in through a second piece of bodywork and then turned "out" through the cooler. Totally different than the stock cooler... and frankly, not worth the trouble on a streetbike. The assembly gets mounted on the left side of the bike, inside the fairing. You need new oil likes (different routing and longer) In the pic - you can see how the air is ducted into the cooler and then would be moved out through the left side outlet. That cooler is quite a bit larger than the stocker. Mine is even slightly larger than the one shown below:   The pic was taken at work by the way. We have an annual "bring your wheels to work" day and they have a racing car and racing motorcycle class for judging. Problem was that I had just bent a pushrod (race was 2 days earlier) and couldn't start the engine - everybody wanted to hear it. (Message edited by slaughter on April 17, 2008) | ||

John - the pic is here at Lockheed. The run up to Ojai is a favorite of ours. Great Sushi (forget the name but we ALWAYS stop in) - something like "fresh fish" in its name. (edit) - "Sea Fresh" - sushi and seafood. Just remembered (Message edited by slaughter on April 17, 2008) |
