Honda CBR250R MC19 Fairings (1988-1989)

About the Honda CBR250R MC19 (1988-1989)

The Honda CBR250R MC19 (1988-1989) is the first of Honda’s classic Japanese-spec 250cc inline-four sport bikes, the tiny, high-revving machine that started the legendary CBR250R line. It is a collectible now, prized for its screaming four-cylinder engine and crisp early bodywork.

These years are remembered as the foundation of a cult 250, loved by enthusiasts who value the high-revving inline-four that only Honda built at this size. Compared with the later MC22, the MC19 has its own distinct panels and gauges. For owners, a fresh fairing set revives a now-classic body style, since dealer parts for the MC19 are long gone and costly.

Popular CBR250R MC19 (1988-1989) Styles & Liveries

The classic factory look for the MC19 is Honda’s tricolor of red, white, and blue, the livery most owners restore first because it defines the era. All-black and the brighter race-style finishes are the other enduring choices.

Custom and period-correct restotrations on the MC19 often aim for the original tricolor or a clean single color, with many owners keeping the classic decals. The timeless panels suit minimal schemes, so browse the finishes and choose a look that fits a classic you ride or display.

What’s Included in the Kit

A full MC19 fairing kit covers the upper fairing and nose, both side panels, the lower belly pan, the tail section, and the front fender. These form the complete shell and shield the inline-four and radiator beneath the early bodywork.

Some options also include a windscreen and tank cover, and every order ships with a free matched bolt kit, windscreen, and heat shield. Read the product description for the exact contents, as ready-made and custom options can vary slightly.

Painted vs Unpainted

For a classic 250 like the MC19, unpainted panels are popular with owners doing a period-correct restoration or a custom build, where matching the original 1980s colors or a bespoke scheme is the goal.

For riders who want it back to stock looks, the painted ready-made tricolor and solid finishes are the quicker route. MC19 owners restoring the bike usually want the iconic factory colors, so weigh a faithful restore against a custom repaint.

Fitment & Installation

These fairings are molded to the 1988-1989 MC19 body with pre-drilled holes for the original mounting points, so they replace the stock panels directly. As a classic, double-check you have the MC19 rather than the later MC22.

Installation is a half-day to a day for a careful owner with basic tools, since the older panels need careful alignment. A good tip is to dry-fit and check everything lines up before final tightening, which avoids stress cracks on aging mounts.
