Race Glass

Post by Birdman »

Well thinking of getting new glass and was wondering what brands you guys are using.
The bike got tired on Monday and layed down for a snooze coming out of turn 2 and then flipped about midway across track at the start of 3rd session :-( bit of a bugger as i had just dropped 3 seconds of my previous PB was down to 1:44.1's.

anyway dont know if i can be bothered repairing the stuff i have, might just start from scratch

I dont do track work (yet ;)) but my bike is an ex-tracky and wears Raceglass race glass ;) As a matter of fact my bike is actually in their gallery.
It seems like good stuff generally solid and decent fit although for me I think the top fairing is a bit thin around the screen, managed to crack it quite easily after an awkward incident trying to walk the bike between the garage wall and car :(

Bummer about the off, especially after clocking a 1:44.

Raceglass in Melb are good, but theres a set on FX classifieds atm for $500, needs paint...

If you have time, check e-bay US, its much cheaper than local including the postage..

I have wet4u on my 10 - had raceglass on my 636 and comparing the two the wet4u was a much better quality and fit. if you are going to be out on the 7th you could compare the two as the guy i sold my 6 to will be out there. only issue with the wet4you was having to cut some of the fairing to fit the shifter in race pattern.

One place i had seen and was interested in was http://www.e-racings.com in the US esp with the dollar the way it is at the moment. they quoted me shipping for about 110 USD to sydney for a complete set, and the complete set is only 325. the only reason i didnt go with them was that i needed the glass by a particular date.

A few months before my beautifull accident :roll: i did order the e-racing glass for my 07 10. After taxes, fees etc etc it cost me $750.
They included the Dzuz fasteners as well :).
Needless to say that now i've got a brand new race-glass sitting in my room but no bike :(

Birdman, if your bike is an 06/07 and you're interested, Pm me.
