Yeti has some moulds to make very sexy fairings and seats but you probably wouldn't want to slide them down the track...

SP1 /2 stuff can be fitted if you're up to doing some bracket fabrication etc.

Alex, I have PM'd Twitchy for you telling him you're not ignoring him, but you are having difficulty in replying to him atm. I have also sent him a link to this thread.

As Wicky points out, make sure you using https rather than http for the forum address/URL.
Also in your private messages make sure your "sent box" is not 100% full

I will now have a look at your account in the Admin section,

Chris.

Might be simpler to use SP oil cooler if you fit SP fairings, the rads can be adjusted but the Storm oil cooler won't work with an SP2 fairing unless you resite it. SP1 and 2 oil cooler positions are different but it's only the inner faring section that changes.
SP cooler is four row so more efficient than Storm versions, so it's worth doing for racing anyway.
You will probably have to resite some other parts as well, and the SP belly pan isn't a direct fit around a Storm system, but it's all do-able.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Yeti is a member on here who has bought the Mario Nava moulds I believe. Very nice looking kit.
