Hi champ!

Firstly, please don't accuse me of doing this review for Amotopart. I paid $900 AUD for my fairings and I took the same risk that you did, after watching other reviews on TH-cam. I'm sorry you received poor quality fairings and I don't know why Amotopart are not responding to you. This is the first negative review I've received and I'm disappointed to hear. Now, as you can see from my video, my fairings were excellent. I pointed out all of the blemishes; I didn't hide anything. They weren't perfect, but very close to the originals. I even did another video 6 months later to show how they've held up. Troy Bayliss himself saw my fairings last week (video is being edited now) and he didn't notice they were aftermarket. The dealership didn't notice either. So please don't question my honesty. I'm not a big TH-camr with a huge following, so what do I have to gain? I don't work for Amotopart, so I don't have any insight into what has changed there. All I can say is that I really hope they get back to you, and if you'd like me to try to contact them, I'd be willing to try to help.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment.

Thank you 😊

Thank you

You're welcome. I hope it was useful. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you kindly for your comment. The MV Agusta F4 is an amazing bike. I love everything about it. Glad you enjoyed the video.

That is very true, and you can also make a very simple tool to compress the Rivnut. The only reason I didn't show it in my video is because the airbox is plastic, and I was concerned that if people over-tighten the Rivnut, they may crush the airbox plastic... and then I'll be blamed for giving bad advice 😂. Thanks for your comment 👍.

Hi there. Not sure about MV mechanics in Alabama, but are you a member of www.mvagusta.net/forums/? Someone on there will definitely be able to help.

Thanks for your comment. I'll take a look at the Summit fairings. Amotopart claim they apply 3 coats of clear, but I can't be positive. I guess I'll know in a few years if it stands the test of time!

You've got a point, but I borrowed that workshop from a friend, and there's nothing fancy there. He's got a simple bench grinder that seems to be part of an old lathe, and an air compressor with a dremel air tool. You could probably skip the air tool step and just use any old bench grinder. But thanks for your comment. I will be more aware of this in future videos.

It's an Akropovic race system. Being a Superbike, I would assume it is specially manufactured for this bike. But if you have the money, Akro systems are probably the best.

People have had amazing results with Harpic 10x cleaner, which has 10% hydrochloric acid as the main constituent. Be careful though, and wear gloves. But before trying that, I would try Autosol metal cleaner if it's just an oil stain and only try the Harpic cleaner if that doesn't work. The whole process I've shown in the video is only necessary if you have deeper pitting and gouges in the surface of the metal, but not for stains.

@@diymoto3952 tysm! Will give that a try

I was very nervous about ordering my fairings from Amotopart. The company claims its headquarters are in the US, California, but when I received the box, it had Chinese writing all over it. I believe the parts are all made and painted in China, but as you see in the video, I was quite happy with the products. I just don't know how long they'll last, but that will come with time. There was another company I was looking at, MotoXP Ricambi in Italy. Their fairings look amazing, and being Italian manufactured, I'm sure they're much better quality than Amotopart. However, they're more than double the price! For my V2 fairings, they cost more than $2000 AUD before shipping! I paid $900 AUD with shipping, so there's a very big difference. It depends what you want to spend.

Here is a link to MotoXP Ricambi. I couldn't justify the extra cost of these, but they look nice if you can afford them. www.motoxpricambi.com/us/

You're welcome.

I've done around 1000 km since fitting the fairings. I mainly ride through the hills & countryside, not so much city riding.

Hi, thanks for your awesome suggestions. To be quite honest, I have never seen any of those other Autosol products at our local Automotive stores in Australia. Generally, I've only ever seen the metal polish in a cream and a liquid. I'll look online. I'd love to try those other products out.

That might be a little uncomfortable wearing a wet hat sprayed with starch 😂

@@diymoto3952 Well I was gonna just do water 💀 I’ll run the test and report back captain!

Did it went good ?

@@kmbsnake5713 it in fact did not, I made the mistake of having gel in my hair. So when I wet the hat and got into the sun it then stuck to my scalp. I now wear the hat permanently kinda like how Joe dirt just left the wig on.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I was really pleased with the results!

Titanium pipes normally discolour from the exhaust heat, so I can’t guarantee they’ll remain polished. Most people love the discolouring, as it adds some nice shades of purple and blue, etc. Are yours coloured, or are they black and disgusting like mine?

@@diymoto3952 yeah they are rusted and black :( beacause they are on touring motorcycle

Hi, the spray is actually designed to be used on clothing, just prior to ironing. Therefore, you don’t have to wait until the cap cools down and you can actually apply more steam after spraying if there are still creases. Hope this helps!

@@diymoto3952 ok thank you so much

I hope they are fantastic and meet your expectations. Please let me know when you receive them. I’d love to get your feedback, as I will definitely not stand behind a product if I know that someone I recommended them to was disappointed. With the V2 fairings, I’ve been recommending to people to reinforce the bottom tab that joins the bottom fairings together. This tab is really weak and I snapped mine. Reinforce it with fibreglass or something similar if you can. I’ll try to make a video on it soon. All the best!

Thanks mate! 👊🏼

Thanks mate! Glad your Harley came up nice.

Thank you 🙏

Hi, not sure what you mean by damper / sound arrester. Are you referring to the little rubber grommets inside the upper Fairing? If so, yes, I used the OEM grommets on the aftermarket fairings.

I watched a heap of videos before attempting this and people use all sorts of different items to shape the hat. You can definitely use a bowl if it’s roughly the size of a head. I used the mannequin head because it is round, but also narrow around the forehead and temple area. Saw one guy use a bucket with paper stuffed on top. Another guy just stuffed paper into the hat until it formed the shape of a head. Stretch the hat over the bowl and if you’re happy with the shape, I think it should be fine to use. Good luck, thanks for watching my video.

To be honest, I couldn’t tell you. I really didn’t feel much of a weight difference when I picked the aftermarket fairings up, but I didn’t actually weigh them. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I was a huge Stoner fan back in 2007, so I’m glad I could recover the cap! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀

It is definitely one of the most beautiful bikes ever designed, which is why I needed to have one 😄. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Just remember, if you order Bayliss ones for your white V2, your tank will still be white. I know with some bikes you can purchase a tank cover, but not sure about the V2. I’m sure Amotopart can advise you. All the best!

Thanks dude. i might custom paint my tank or wrap to match. how's paiting quality? you still satisfied?@@diymoto3952

Yes, I definitely agree. I was not wearing safety glasses when testing the polishing wheel, but during polishing you will notice I had glasses on. The wheel was turning anti-clockwise, so pushing particles towards the floor, but you’re right, I should wear a mask. Appreciate your comment, thank you.

You’re welcome. I hope you love your fairings as much as I love mine. May I ask for which bike are you buying them for?

@@diymoto3952 2022 V2 Bayliss. Going to take her to the track soon so I wanted to mothball the OEM just incase. I ordered the solid red so I can apply my own livery.

@@billrogers7928awesome idea! Please be aware that since the plastics are ABS, they are not quite as strong as the OEM plastics, which I believe are a blend of composites. I only had a problem where the two lower Fairings connect together at the bottom. I overtightened the bolt and broke the tab. Also, use your OEM fasteners if you can. The ones they supply are no good. I had no other problems with fitment and it all went together very well. If I knew about the bottom tab issue on the lower fairings, I would have reinforced them with a bit of fibreglass. I’m planning to do a follow up video on how well the fairings are holding up. Overall I am so happy with them! Hope you love yours too.

Hey mate, thanks for the comment. I just took a quick look at the website and V4s fairings all seem to be 2018 - 2022. You should try contacting them. Is there a difference between the 2022 and 2023 fairings?

Yes, I do not disagree. Someone also suggested ceramic coating the pipes as it lasts much longer. However, my channel is for people who don’t have thousands of dollars to spend, and perhaps have the time and workspace for a low cost alternative. Appreciate your comment though, very valid point. Thank you.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Yes, and the steamer was very average quality. A good steamer would do a much better job! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks mate!

Hey mate, I went with the standard free shipping, which states 20-25 days I believe. It took around 5 weeks in reality. Something I forgot to mention is that you can customise your design of the fairings, which is pretty cool. And just remember, if they’re copying a factory Fairing design, chances are they’re doing it from a photo, which is why mine weren’t precisely the same. One more thing… being ABS plastic, be careful if your fairings have plastic tabs. They are strong, but not as strong as the original OEM. Hope this helps.

@diymoto3952 great, thanks. I'm happy with one of their designs so will give it a punt.

Riding through town on a warm day (anything over 25degC) is very hot. I now try to limit my riding to the country only, as the bike is designed to keep moving. It doesn’t like the constant stop starting at traffic lights! 😃

Thank you! 😊
