Thinking of getting Track only pharing for 1990-851S.
Narrowed it down to Beasley fiberglass (in OH) or Shark Skinz(FL)
Would appreciate any and info.

I have the Sharkskinz on my '91 and it's plenty nice!

Thanks Chris

Did you find that there was a significant difference in weight from the original .On this bike all body panels, seat have been replaced by the original owner? When I spoke to both Beasley and Sharkskinz and they said the weight of a side upper side panel is about 2 - 2.5lb compared to 5.5lb on this bike...Do you find that to be correct. What fasteneres did you use?

TIA

Steve

If the bodywork on your '90 is stock, then the weight savings of going with Sharkskinz is huge. The stock strand fibreglass boddy work is outrageously heavy. The cloth aftermarket stuff is tougher to boot.

Combination of stock"ish" fasteners and quarter turn dzus type. Buy the quarter turns from the fairing supplier - easiest way to go.

Sharkskinz are not only lighter,the stuff is much more repairable than anything else out there.

I think it may be a stretch to say "it is much more repairable than anything else out there."

It is cloth not strand but there are many bodywork makers out there using cloth. Once you're into cloth I think that the repair process from this maker to that maker is tomato tomahto so to speak.

I would agree with Ric insofar as his opinion that cloth is the way to go.
