Fairing grills

[BEAU]

My Busa is a 2010 and I am looking for some fairing grills that I can make from stainless steel. Can anyone give some ideas on where I can purchase the stainless steel from. I prefer that to the aluminium as the stainless steel will last longer.
Thanks heaps

Won't you be fitting crash bungs?

I think fairing grills look sick but bungs kind of f*** it up.

Not sure what crash bungs are?????

you can buy pre-shaped mesh online (check ebay, or google "hayabusa fairing mesh")

I tried one place and they wanted $78 for postage, so wanted a cheaper and better option.

Like you I like the idea of SS and was thinking of making mine from it as well. You will have two problems - first they will be difficult to form as you need the wires about 0.5 mm dia and there is a lot of movement between the wires making it very difficult to get smooth surves. Second they do not make (or I could not find any) a mesh that woulod allow enough air flow as most of that product is for filtering applications. If you restrict the airflow too much, you might just cause some other problems.
The alloy ones (I got chromed ones) will last for years without any problem and their beauty is that they are made using an "expanded metal" method - series of slots are cut in a flat sheet that then is stretched out making the openings that are at an angle to the surface having good "masking" properties without restricting the airflow too much.

Hi Shifu, thanks for that. My main reason is not so much for the cosmetic even though it looks good. I live semi rural so everytime I head out its on country roads and road trains. The bike and myself have had a few stone hits, they hurt and bruise and I concerned if they hit the pipes and split them, I am in trouble on the country roads and don't want to be stranded. I have thought of the airflow intakes and understand the need for that to be fluent.
Yours look magic. Where did you get yours from????

Kylie please tell me you have oil cooler and radiator guard's?
