Hi there.

Any of you guys that have used, http://www.airtech-streamlining.com? Are they any good? Does any body have an e-mail address to them? I can not find it on there site.

Does anybody have a set of air intake panels (left and red)for the oil radiators they would be willing to sell?

Regards,

I ordered Airtech body panels about 10 years ago & found them needing significant work before they'd fit, let alone paint up & look decent. I'd say watch ebay or this board for used stock panels (unless someone has had better, more recent experience...)

I understand the Airtech stuff is not of the same stature as the stock stuff. I've heard it's lighter (for race reasons, obviously) and not as staunch so don't expect it to take a hit as well either. Plus they come undrilled, so there's another headache for you - assmebling the pieces to mark the hole locations, and then drilling (carefully!) to fit. However, on the plus side, last time I checked, you could outfit yourself with a full set of skins for around $900 +/-.

One recommendation to getting anything painted - whether it's a faded stock panel or a new & unpainted piece: take the panel closest to the piece you're replacing into a reputable auto paint shop - one that has a light gun to read the paint index. Since our bikes are over 10 years old (mine's going on 16 now) 1. I wouldn't trust the paint number listed anywhere and 2. the paint may have faded. So by getting the actual paint index of the nearest panel is your best bet to matching the actual color. I did this exact thing when I had to rebuild one of my mirror pods; i fixed it with JB Weld and had a shop whip a pint of color-matched blue - and you wouldn't know it, to see it on the bike.
