Power bronze lower faring

[JCR]

Morning fellow VTR lovers, has anyone got a power bronze lower faring fitted to there bike? And if so what’s the fit like and would you have any pics of what it looks like on the bike as any adverts I can find selling one only has a picture that’s more of a front angle shot with no side on pictures showing what it looks like from the left and right hand sides

Many thanks guys

These are of a bike I bought a while ago...Personally I think they look a bit cak...So I took it off & sold it...






These ones are better IMO Moriwaki Replica.

What colour is your bike ?
I might well be selling a Power Bronze Red one that I've just taken off mine.

Hi guys thanks for your replies I’m guessing that the power bronze lower faring is not that popular with you guys looking at those pics I’m not too sure myself but I’m not sure about the moriwaki style one either so now I’m even more confused as to what to go for or stick with the original. I saw one on line by NZ race farings but it looks like it’s an American company so will no doubt be very expensive to get here, is there anyone who might have one of those do you know? The bike is red at the moment but it will be changing to black later with red and white graphics as I’m painting a spare set of pannels and tank when I can get the time to finish them

Powerbronze one looks really good as long as you don't colour match it..

Thanks buddy I’m still not sure though lol

Thanks buddy, Now the pyramid one is really starting to grow on me, now I’ve looked at it a few times online, it’s kind of a half way house between a full lower faring and a moriwaki style belly pan to me. I wasn’t keen at first but I’m really starting to like it now that I’ve seen it on a few bikes online. Can I ask what was the fit like? I’ve just finished fitting a power bronze under tray and it was a pain in the butt lol
I am wondering though if I’ll have any issues with clearance underneath at the rear of the pyramid one as it comes quite far back and until I’ve finished my new custom exhaust system to clear the single side swing arm I can’t be sure how much clearance I’ll have there but I guess I could always trim up the faring a bit if I have to.

A rail runs down both sides of the bottom of the oil pan, two sump bolts on each side to fit rail to pan, then belly pan bolts to captive lugs on the rail.
I have not found ground clearance an issue. But I have a few scraps underneath due to dropping of curbs.
Its reasonably roomy around engine area.
I have altered it a little remove some meat from the belly pan on the gear change side as my size 11 would catch the edge of the belly pan. Very easily done with the Dremel.
The quality of the belly pan is fantastic it still in good shape after 20 years on the bike.

That will be due to it being made in fibreglass IIRC
It looks like a very good colour match in the photo

Pyramid

The Pyramid is fibreglass and chips very easy, Powerbronze is plastic and holds up much better

Thanks guys for the advice! The fact the pyramid is fibreglass puts me off a bit but I like the look of it more than the power bronze one but I like the fact the power bronze one is plastic but I hope it’s not much hassle as the power bronze under tray I just fitted lol! Just finished all the mods to take my new modified exhausts and it’s all mocked up in place but as there titanium and not stainless I’ve got to get a specialist to join them up to the headers.

Fibreglass is heavier, but it's easy to repair if you land a heavy jump or bump it up a kerb.
Also, if you have to have weight, that's exactly where you want it- low down and central front to back.
