Custom Fairings
About Custom Fairings
SummitFairings offers custom-painted fairings across every brand we support – from Japanese inline-fours to Italian V-twins and British triples. Custom refers to the paint and graphics applied to an OEM-specification ABS kit, not the plastic itself; the underlying panels are the same injection-molded, pre-drilled parts used in our ready-made sets. Riders come to custom for different reasons: a Honda or Yamaha owner may want a MotoGP- or WSBK-derived track livery, a Kawasaki owner may want to cover the factory green with a clean matte black, a Ducati owner may want a minimalist carbon-textured finish, and a Triumph owner may want a cafe-racer scheme. The result is a finished kit built around the look you choose, fitted to your exact model year.
How the Custom Process Works
Start by selecting your brand, model and production year; this locks in the correct mold and base kit. At checkout, upload a reference image – a photo, screenshot, or link – and add notes about colors, text, or graphics placement. No design file is required; our team prepares a rendered preview for your approval before production starts. Once you confirm the artwork, we paint the kit and ship it after you approve the final photos.
What Riders Usually Request
Requests group around recognizable directions by brand. Honda and Yamaha owners lean toward race-replica and team liveries, often with a race number added; Kawasaki owners frequently ask for full matte or gloss black to subdue the stock green; Suzuki owners revisit classic blue-white race stripes and retro schemes; Ducati owners prefer minimalist, carbon-textured and limited-edition-style finishes; Triumph owners gravitate to British and cafe-racer looks. These patterns give us a strong starting point, and any reference you provide sets the final direction.
Custom vs. Ready-Made: Which Should You Choose?
Ready-made pre-painted kits are the faster, lower-cost option, suited to riders replacing damaged panels or happy with a factory-style finish. Custom makes sense when you want a specific scheme not offered as a stock color – a team replica, a personal number, or a two-tone of your choosing. If your priority is speed and a known color, choose ready-made; if it is a specific look, choose custom.
Pricing & Production Time
Custom painting and graphic changes are free – you pay only for the base ABS kit and standard shipping. Production runs 10-15 business days, since each set is painted to order rather than pulled from stock. Air freight via EMS then adds 15-20 business days, with a tracking number issued on shipment. Ocean shipping is available at 20-25 business days. Plan ahead for a specific event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order custom if I can’t design a graphic?
Yes. Send a photo or link as reference and describe the colors and text. We prepare a rendered preview for approval, so no design software is needed.
Is the custom paint the same quality as ready-made kits?
Both use the same OEM-grade ABS and the same 7-stage paint process with clear coat meeting or exceeding OEM standards. Only the artwork differs.
What if the finished kit doesn’t match what I imagined?
We send photos of the painted kit for your approval before shipping. If a change is needed at that stage, we adjust it before dispatch.
How long from order to delivery?
Production takes 10-15 business days, plus 15-20 business days EMS air shipping. Total transit is typically 25-35 business days depending on destination.
Does the custom kit install the same as a stock panel?
Yes. The ABS shell is pre-drilled to OEM mounting points, so installation is identical to a ready-made or stock panel.
Can I change colors or remove a graphic after ordering?
Color and decal changes, removing text, and moving graphics are part of the free custom service. Confirm details before production starts.
Which models can I order custom fairings for?
Most brands and models we list, including Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati and Triumph across their year ranges. Select your exact model and year.
Will the paint fade or yellow over time?
The clear coat resists UV fading and meets or exceeds OEM durability standards. Limiting prolonged direct-sun exposure helps preserve the finish.
Can I add my race number or a name to the fairing?
Yes. Adding model names, race numbers, or text is included in the free custom service. Provide the exact text and placement in your notes.
What if a panel is damaged in transit?
If any part is scratched or broken during shipping, we resend the replacement panel at no cost. Keep the packaging for reference.
