Identify these fairings? (race body help)
Hello.
I am new to this board, but have already found it to be a great resource already. I was enjoying a RC51 for a few years, until it was stolen. I recently picked up a nice vtr1000. It was some ones track bike with some nice suspension upgrades, and other upgrades.
*Witch brings me to my question: Does anyone know who made these fairings?
One piece tail w/ pad seat, and resting pad that opens to access the tail. The front appears to be a 2 piece (upper and lower), since the upper ends more abruptly than other fairings Ive seen, and it doesn't have any extra curves or "fins" at the bottom (There is a straight cut line, with holes where the lower used to be). I am hoping to find the manufacturer so I can buy a replacement lower that matches.
I like them a lot, but have no idea where they came from.
Please help!

Yes, it is Mario's bodywork, however this may be an early version of his work. His current bodywork does not have an area above the headlight where it looks like the marker light was molded in. Yours does.
Here's his webpage: http://web.tiscalinet.it/mario_nava/vtr1000.html

Thanks guys, you have been a huge help!
I have been in touch with him, and plan to order the lower that I am missing.
His website has some great pics I have never seen before (I loved the race bikes!).
Anyway, I couldn't have done it with out you. Infact, I would continue to have a naked bottom... but no more.
ps. the pics are from a shop a couple of friends and I rent to fix up old hotrods and stuff. Mine is the 51 buick with air ride.
Thanks again.
