We found a link some years ago to this chap in Japan who makes these but got no replies.
There is a company in Aus , maybe the one listed on ebay last week or so , but again we tried to contact them with enquiries about bulk purchase but got no reply.
It is believed that it is postage to our shores that puts these business's off.
This is how we ended up trying to get our own done . (Breath holding is not recommended at this juncture.)

Spoke to chap re these fairings we are getting made.
He is waiting for a silicon mould to arrive , that way he can do them in 3 parts as they are at factory, keeping costs down, £80 was banded about, not quoting just estimating.

It turns out Chris's fairing does have patching that wasn't evident at first , and any infraction will be in the moulding.
Does anyone have a really good fairing with no cracks or filler around the pocket mounts.
If not we have an alternative plan, but that involves another broken fairing and repairing missing piece.

I think I can help but not 100%.

Give me a few days to go inspect what I've got.
