Hi Gus, thanks for the reply, the main issue is: I'll have to ride the bike on the road.

I ride to Brands Hatch when I do track days.
I bring it in a rented Transit van to Snetterton and, this year, to Cadwell... but I have to be able to fit headlights and stop light, plate holder to use it on the street. Including the odd weekend jaunt on the A4 etc. :wink:

I spoke with Catalyst on the phone today.
They were pretty kind (especially in putting up with my accent :D ) but they weren't 100% clear on if it was possible to attach the arm for the plate on the rear monocoque or if the screw points on the street upper monocoque are like the originals, etc.
I don't mind drilling at all, but I'm not able and I have no tools to create my own mounting points.

I think adapting the Saering stuff for road use can be too much work... or I might not be able to.

The Catalyst fairings are twice the price of Saering ones + shipping.
Or same cost of the Saering carbon ones.
I found a few photos and a fitting instructions here: http://www.hp2.info/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=122
and here: http://www.hp2.info/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=113 and it seems quality stuff thoug.

If I end up buying them, I'll get them painted this winter. I'll just have enough time to have them produced/delivered and then fitted (pretty sure it'll take me more than a day) before the first trackday.

I never really messed around with fiberglass fairings, but I know they can be a bit of a kerfuffle sometimes... so that's why I'm trying to check as much as possible before buying. :wink:

I sent an email to sandbar too, just in case.
I bought something from him already and asked about some other items and he's been very helpful and informative via email.
