Rennsport bodywork

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

I purchaced a set from this new company and installed it this weekend.  As usual, I wrote an article about it for the paper.  Here is the last paragraph.

Overall, I was very pleased with the Rennsport bodywork.  My first pleasant surprise was that I ordered it on a Tuesday afternoon, and had it in my hands Thursday night!  It fit the bike almost as well as Sharkskins.  Like Sharkskins, Rennsport bodywork is sprayed with a coat of quality primer before it leaves the factory.  Airtech and Hotbodies are delivered without primer.  A perfectionist might spend a bit of time sanding the primer to perfection, but I was happy to send it to the painter as-is.  Of course I won't know how durable Rennsport bodywork is until I crash on it.  (Gee, I can't wait...)  Overall, I would rate this bodywork below Sharkskinz, but better than Airtech, way better than Hotbodies, and with a lower price than any of them.  I'd call that a good value!  For the racer, track day rider,  or the street rider with a projector beam and a hole saw in his hot little hands, Rennsport fiberglass bodywork could be just the ticket.

In my opinion, Rennsport is worth a look

Jordan,

I saw a posting on the WERA board for Rennsport recently.  Their link is www.rennsportbodies.com

As I remember they may not be producing bodywork for a large variety of bikes yet as they are a new company.  They do seem to be adding new models fairly quickly though.

Good luck!

 Thanks for the link(S) ;D    Well they are the cheapest I've seen so far.   Does the GSXR body fit on an SV anyone know?  Sale ends Jan 15 ;)

Somebody else will have to answer on the GSXR question....  as far as them producing SV bodywork I recall that they said they would have '03-04 models available soon.  I asked about pre '03 and the reply I got was that they would have to evaluate the demand - but no plans till at least Spring.

Here's the WERA link I saw....

Yes it does.

  Hey Chris does the bodywork come with any fastners or brackets?  Holes pre-drilled?

Do they?  I sent them an email last night with questions about the GSXR body work. $550 after the sale is still cheeper.  I paid more than that last year for not so hot and rip in a crash holly bodies ( LOL)
