Fairings & bodywork
Race glass for the track, carbon for the street, windscreens for both. Fairing kits turn a street bike into a crashable track bike; carbon pieces, windscreens, and tank grips dress and protect what's already there.
The short answer
Going track-only? Fiberglass race bodywork with your stock plastics boxed in the garage costs less than one crashed OEM fairing. Staying street? A double-bubble windscreen and tank grips are the $150 version of the same idea. Carbon is bought with the eyes — price it honestly against paint.

|---|---|---|---|
| CNC Racing | premium | IT | Ducati-centric Italian billet and carbon — the factory-accessory look without the factory invoice. |
| Ilmberger Carbon | premium | DE | TÜV-certified German carbon for BMW, Ducati, and Aprilia — $80 heel guards to four-figure fairings. |
| Sharkskinz | premium | US | Florida-built race fiberglass — the fairing kit US race paddocks default to. |
| Puig | mid | ES | Spanish screens with the broadest fitment, from R-Racer race bubbles to naked-bike flyscreens. |
| Zero Gravity | mid | US | US-made, racer-designed windscreens; Corsa and Double Bubble are the standard SKUs. |

Bodywork by model
What each bike's page says about bodywork: the brands that fit, the year splits and the gotchas, quoted from the 28 bike pages that have a note on it.
Honda CBR600RR
Race glass splits at 2013: 07–12 and 13+ use different molds (Armour Bodies, Sharkskinz, Hotbodies all catalog both). The 2021+ international bodywork fits nothing sold in the US.
Kawasaki ZX-6R
Zero Gravity Corsa or Double Bubble for tuck room, Puig as the alternative. Screens are year-split with the bodywork: 2013–18, 2019–23 and 2024+ are three different parts.
Yamaha R6
Race glass is everywhere for 2006–07, 2008–16 and 2017–20 — Armour Bodies and Sharkskinz are the staples — but the three generations are different molds. Buy by year range, not by 'R6'.
Aprilia RSV4
Race fairing fitment: 2009–14, 2015–20 and 2021+ are three different bikes; 2019–20 Factory winglets add a wrinkle inside the middle window. Carbon street parts from Fullsix and Ilmberger catalog the RSV4 heavily.
BMW M1000RR
The winglets and their ducting make the M RR's front bodywork unique — race fairing makers list it separately from the S1000RR. For carbon street parts, Ilmberger and Fullsix both catalog the M RR at prices well under the BMW parts counter.
Ducati Panigale V4
Ilmberger and Fullsix own the carbon catalog (tank covers ~$500, huggers ~$425 typical street price). Race fiberglass must accommodate the underbelly exhaust; winglet-equipped fairings (2020+) are their own fitment branch.
Honda CBR1000RR
SC59 and SC77 enjoy broad race-fiberglass support (Armour Bodies, Sharkskinz class); RR-R race bodywork exists but costs more and moves less volume. Windscreens: Zero Gravity Corsa/Double Bubble are the standard SKUs.
Aprilia RS 660
Double-bubble screens (Zero Gravity, Puig) are a common comfort fix for taller riders — but 2025+ winglet fairings take different screens than 2021–24.
Honda CBR500R
Hotbodies, Armour Bodies and Woodcraft list race bodywork for 2013–2015 only in the listings we checked. Street fairings split at 2016, 2019 and 2024; the 2024 fairing adds winglets.
Honda CBR650R
Puig's Z Racing windscreen lists the CBR650R 2019–2026 as one part.
Kawasaki Ninja 650
The 2020 restyle changed the upper cowl and screen, so 2017–19 and 2020+ screens don't cross. Kawasaki's Large Windshield is 99994-2530; aftermarket screens are year-split the same way.
Suzuki GSX-8R
Hotbodies lists GSX-8R 2024–2026 race bodywork, Woodcraft a Supersport kit for the 8R/8S, and Armour Bodies 8R bodywork and a superbike seat base. The street fairing is 8R-only.
Triumph Daytona 660
Puig lists Z-Racing and R-Racer windshields for 2024–25. The 2026 bike has a new headlight, so confirm fit for 2026.
Yamaha R7
Twins Cup means race glass is plentiful: Armour Bodies and Hotbodies are the US staples. Note the 2026 update before ordering — molds may split.
Yamaha R9
Hotbodies lists 2025+ R9 race bodywork, and Yoshimura sells an aluminum muffler bracket for the Race AT2 when the passenger pegs come off. Street fairings are R9-specific.
Ducati Streetfighter V4
Puig and Zero Gravity sport screens are the popular fix for highway wind fatigue. Fitment is SF-specific — Panigale screens don't cross.
Honda CB500F
Puig's Rafale windscreen lists the CB500F 2013–2024 as one part and its New Generation Sport windscreen 2016–2024. Puig lists separate CB500 Hornet windscreens for 2024–2026.
Honda CB650R
Puig and MRA flyscreens are the functional picks; they change highway wind noticeably on a naked. Mounting changed with the 2024 headlight redesign — match the year range.
Kawasaki Z650
Puig and MRA naked-bike flyscreens take the worst of the blast off your chest. 2017–19 and 2020+ mounts differ with the headlight change — buy for your year.
Kawasaki Z900
Puig and MRA naked screens take the highway blast off your chest — the difference between a 30-minute bike and a 3-hour bike. Fitment follows the 2017–19 / 2020–24 / 2025+ cosmetic splits.
Suzuki GSX-8S
Puig lists New Generation Sport and Touring windscreens for the 8S 2023. The 8S has no full fairing.
Triumph Street Triple 765
Naked-bike reality: a Puig or Triumph flyscreen takes the worst chest blast off highway speeds but no screen makes it a tourer. Fitment follows the 2017/2020/2023 styling splits.
Triumph Trident 660
Puig lists a Sport Screen and Pyramid a fly screen for 2021+, and Triumph sells a colour-coded flyscreen. The 2026 bike has a new headlight and mount, so confirm fit for that year.
KTM 390 Duke
Puig flyscreens are the popular wind fix for the upright Duke position — model-year specific mounts, so match your generation.
Kawasaki Ninja 300
Hotbodies and Armour Bodies mold 2013–2017 race bodywork; Hotbodies also lists an undertail and a windscreen. Ninja 250R (2008–2012) and Ninja 400 bodywork are different parts.
Kawasaki Ninja 300
Zero Gravity lists four screen shapes for 2013–2017 (Corsa, Double Bubble, SR, Sport Touring); Puig lists a Z Racing screen and Hotbodies one screen for the same years.
Kawasaki Ninja 400 & Ninja 500
Zero Gravity Corsa is the track pick for tuck room. Fits vary by seller labeling ("2018–2020" style) but the bike didn't change — confirm the listing covers your year.
Kawasaki Ninja 400 & Ninja 500
Race glass is plentiful (Armour Bodies, Hotbodies and the race-parts houses) because the racing classes demand it. Street fairings from the Ninja 650 or Ninja 500 do not swap over despite the family look.
Kawasaki Z400
Kawasaki's only wind accessory for the Z400 is the Meter Cover (99994-1128), filed under windshields.
Yamaha R3
Race glass for the R3 is abundant thanks to the race classes — Armour Bodies and Hotbodies both mold it. Molds split at 2019 and again at 2025.
Also in the upgrade order for: Suzuki GSX-R600, BMW S1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000, Suzuki GSX-R750, Yamaha R1, Ducati Panigale V2, Suzuki SV650, Honda Grom.
Prices are typical US street prices at publish time and drift with sales and supply — verify at the retailer. Fitment is advisory: always confirm the exact part number for your year, generation and market before buying.
