In the progress of building a TR500 replica from my GT500, i came across Bardney racing that produces a TR500 fiberglass fairing.
since i will be visiting the UK next week, i thought about ordering their fairing and ship it to the hotel.
any thought and opinion on their product?
i will probably buy the whole lot - fairing, belly pan, seat section, screen and mud guard.
any input will be welcomed and appreciated.
thanks.
Raviv.

Well, since no one had a bad opinion on them (or no opinion, for that matter), i went ahead and bought the needed items from Barndey Racing.
all i can say is - WOW!
their products quality is excellent, super fast shipping and great people to work with.
i bought everything needed for the TR500, i.e. fairing, bellypan, screen, front mudguard and tail section... it all came wrapped and packed in a cardboard box, took me a while to go through the packing material until i got to the fairing.
the box manage to survive another flight to my homeland without any damage.
so. if you are looking for a good fiberglass parts for a good price and excellent customer service, Bardney Racing is the way to go.

Just a little mock up...
Still need to build a new aluminum gas tank and aluminum oil tank.
Also, need to design and build a new sub-frame for the fairing, any idea where to start?
Thanks.

Hi Ravivos,
Keep it simple and go with a race type set-up.
1. Mount/Weld a tube going forward from the headstock. Then a 2nd tube which can slide in and out which bolts to the front of the fairing
2. Side mounts.
3. Similar mounts for the bottom of the fairing and a cross brace from the centre of the top yolk to the screen sides (I'll get some photos of mine, easy to make)
Cheers Geoff
