Title: Anyone know who makes these radiator fairings
Post by: BlueDragon on Monday, 17 June 2019, 12:37 PM
Does anyone know who makes these radiator fairings?  Or "cheeks" as some websites call them?

I haven't been able to find them on any website.

Really like the look of these over others that I have seen.

Or, my other option is to find a pair of radiator shrouds off a Inazuma GW250 and re-shape them to fit the 1400.

I'm really tempted to do this as I can then integrate the side indicators into these radiator shrouds as well..

Remade used to do a similar set, not sure if they still do, but they didn't readily fit with the rad cover in place - a little mod was needed to extend the screws.

Or there are these from Germany

Or these

Different types come up for sale on eBay - keep a check.

Actually going for something in the middle of these 2.

I was looking at changing the indicators to LED, but then saw the radiator side covers on a Inazuma 250 - which got me thinking.  I've hunted down a matching pair from a wrecked in Sydney that i have bought lots of parts from - so he is working out a price for me.  I like the idea of removing the ugly front stalk indicators. 

Was just something that came to mind...  I'd not seen a B-King before - didn't realise they were like that..

I've yet to decide if I will polish the lower fork legs or paint them black or even gold.. 

If I don't paint them gold, then when the upper legs need re-chroming, I'll be looking at gold coloured chrome rather than the standard chroming.

Yeah, the B-King is about 12 years old but lots of it's styling like the headlight etc carried over to the little Inazuma.

I'm undecided...  but intend to do some "photoshop" work and see what it turns out like before dropping any coin..

Not for me Bluey. Dont like the look at all. If i could get rid of oil cooler, i would. Hides such a beautiful motor. Just my thoughts. AS said recently, each to their own. Go for it.

Side fairing thingys not me either.  I was thinking the same grog, hiding the oil cooler would be awesome.   One possible location could be under the tank, would need a custom curved cooler, and the induction to the airbox would have to come in from the left or right-hand side. I believe there is enough air flow over the top of the motor and under the tank to cool the oil properly.

At least its just an oil cooler and not a big arse water/coolant radiator.

Yet mysteriously not the exhaust styling. I can't imagine why...   :happy1:
