Where are you located? In sunny Vista, California. Some of the best twisty roads in the USA in our backyard, an all-year riding season, the beach and associated scantily clad surf babes are some of the perks of living here. Did we mention the great roads and all-year-riding? Come visit us and check it out! Who makes your products? We do! You’re not dealing with some dude that is selling stuff out of his garage, we are the manufacturer. We have a state of the art production facility and make everything in house. Do you have the items in stock? No, we make everything to order. We have over 5000 different molds and simply cannot keep fairings in stock. So we’ll make your bodywork especially for you! The average production time is about 10-14 business days depending on the season. How do I place an order? Call us! 760-598-3366. Place your order with one of our friendly sales people and pay with Visa, Mastercard, Discover or send us a money order. We're open Mon-Fri, 9-5 PST to answer your phone calls. Do you ship internationally? Yes, on a weekly basis. Please read this: More information about international shipping . What is your bodywork made out of? Fiberglass. All of our bodywork is hand laid by skilled craftsmen. Airtech uses only the best tried and true aircraft composites. We can make almost every piece out of carbon fiber, too. What are the advantages of fiberglass over ABS plastic? Fiberglass is lighter and stronger than ABS plastic. That is why racers use it, and that is why we like it. It doesn’t melt or get brittle like ABS does. And last but not least, it’s repairable if you ever do take a spill or the bike gets knocked over. Why don’t bike manufacturers use it, then? You can’t mass produce fiberglass, it would be way to expensive for production bikes. They’ll put it on their factory race bikes, though! Nothing but the best for the best. What kind of finish is on the bodywork? We use our proprietary VE Flex gelcoat. Gelcoat is a special coating that is sprayed into the molds and cured, the fiberglass is then laid up on top of it. Once cured the piece will pop out of the mold really smooth and clean. This is a much better finish than the cheap primer filler some companies use to cut cost. I’ve heard gelcoat spider cracks? Our special Flex VE coat is designed to prevent the problems associated with old fashioned, inferior gelcoats. Flex VE will not crack under normal circumstances because it’s slightly flexible. Spider cracking can occur when bodywork is improperly mounted or subjected to general abuse. Improper mounting on bent brackets stresses the bodywork, so make sure your brackets are straight. Always use the rubber grommets between the bracket and the fairing when mounting the bodywork onto the bike to help control vibration damage and give a degree of flexibility when needed. Are your replacement parts just like my stock parts? We use a full set of original bodywork to craft our molds, so all the exterior dimensions will be the same as they are on the stock parts. Fiberglass will be thinner and lighter than the stock piece.
