flappytrack fairings
i have just fitted track farings to kr1s
the lower fwring doesn't have the mount that locates the fairing just below the radiator and after a quick road test the fairings do appear to flap around a little, not really from head wind, but crosswinds,
Firstly, is this normal for race fairings? do they need to be a really static fit,
maybe i should just be bodging a mount for under the rad,
any advice from some people with a similar experience would be useful,
thanks duncan

I have never used the under rad mount on my race fairings. I've only broke them from falling off, although they do get cracked during close overtaking

never seen race plastic with that mount either. have now got diffrent bodywork so need to work out mount ect myself. never enjoy fitting bespoke bodywork or bodywork designed for another bike. ARD, race products, BB plastics do good quality race bodywork. ARD definitly do a set for the kr1s. theres normally race bopdywork on ebay.
