hotbodies race plastics

I'm thinking about throwing a set on my 636 and doing a custom paint job, how well is it going to hold up? How much fitment problems did you have?

I run Cheetah racing bodies on my 636's and they work nice...fit is good, and they've lasted well over a season and still going strong....

Re: hotbodies race plastics

cool what'd you end up doing for a fairing stay? I believe the 905 mounts to the headlight tab but the race plastics don't have those... ? Can you post up some pics too

Ditto, I run chetta on my Race bike and it's great, and it bolts right up to stock mouting points. No Drilling, at-least on my 04 Gsxr 6.

i dont got any closeup pics, but u can see pics on superstreetbike.com

i got the 905 fairing stay in there with the race plastics....no problems at all. the race stuf is so secure from mounting to the lowers and to the bike itself that not directly mounting to the stay is not a problem, it feels as if it is...

i highly recommend it...a quick way to toughen up your bike and make it easy to look clean!

Re: hotbodies race plastics

i have a cheeta race body for my f4i.
everything mount like it should, everything lines up.

its so much more flexible then stock stuff. i can sit on the tail section and cave it in, and no pain flakes off (my paint is rattle can though)

i recomend cheeta!

Re: hotbodies race plastics

sweet good deal I've found one on another site that is locally reccommended anyone heard of them? There prices are super cheap if you're a racer

One more question on the cheetah plastics.. Does anyone have a NICE paintjob with one? I'm probably going to spend around $300 in paint so there can't be a bunch of pinholes and stuff in the plastic

Re: hotbodies race plastics

I Have Hotbodies Plastic On My 900rr. I Had To Do My Own Bodywork Before I Could Put It On. Fitment Was Great But, Definately Not As Good As Cheetah

Re: hotbodies race plastics

The cheetah stuff is awesome and you can put a nice paint job on them too. I've never heard anybody say anything good about the Hotbodie's stuff. I'm sure if you ask nice they'll make it a little thicker too so it will be stronger.

Re: hotbodies race plastics

Re: hotbodies race plastics

i had hotbodie on my old f4i......they were alright, but the fitment wasnt great, and you have to do all the drilling

i have Sharkskinz on my 929 now, and they are awesome in every way. they came pre-drilled and had the zues fasteners already rivited on.

for the most part all aftermarket fairings are stronger than stock because they flex more, instead of cracking to bits every time theyre flexed
