Wild Hair Accessories?
Anyone ever bought from them or have any experience with this? I'm thinking the "carbon optic" lower fairing on my red VTR. Anyone know of a cheaper/better option for a full lower fairing? Thoughts..?

I purchased some German-made tip over guards for my FJR about 4 years back, and Wild Hair was a pleasure to deal with.

It's more expensive than Sharkskinz, but this wouldn't need to be painted. Sharkskinz lower was about 250 unpainted..

Go for it if you like it and can afford it. I know our bikes won't get that much on resale but if you 're going to keep it for a while... There's a reason why this forum is around; Superhawks are fun.

While I have never used them myself, I have never heard a bad thing about them, only good reports.

Does anyone know of a better or cheaper place to find a lower fairing?

I just bought a lower from sharkskinz $300 to my door and includes bracket and hardware.
http://www.sharkskinz.com/shopexd.asp?id=1803
It comes primed but needs scuffing before paint.
Hope that helps

There is one on ebay - picture usually shows a black lower on a yellow hawk. Seller is Recklessmotorcycles and they are located near Knoxville, TN. They have a "make an offer" and the last one went for $190. They also have a hugger that they list at $60. I asked what they would sell the two together for and was quoted $250 plus $30 shipping. There are members that have bought from Reckless with the reviews being mixed. I have not heard a single thing bad about Sharkskinz and am really thinking about going that direction.

The only thing that swayed me from the Reckless is that it's two pieces.
