Honda CBR500F Fairings
About the Honda CBR500F
The Honda CBR500F is Honda’s middleweight parallel-twin sport bike, the fully faired sibling of the CB500 platform that also spawned the naked CB500F and adventure-styled CB500X. Introduced for 2013 and built around a 471cc engine, it sits in the entry-to-midrange class where new riders, commuters, andReturning riders all meet. It is the kind of bike people keep for years, which is exactly why a clean fairing set stays in steady demand.
Across its production run the CBR500F earned a reputation for being approachable, reliable, and genuinely fun on real roads rather than just on a spec sheet. Owners value the upright-ish sport riding position and the low running costs, and many use it as a first “proper” bike or a tidy second machine for commuting. Because the model has been on sale for over a decade with only light updates, a replacement or custom fairing is a practical way to refresh one that has picked up parking scars or faded in the sun.
Honda CBR500F Generations & Year Ranges
The CBR500F arrived in 2013 and ran through a first facelift for 2016, which sharpened the nose, updated the headlight, and tweaked the bodywork; a further update arrived around 2019 with revised styling and a slipper clutch. Visually the early bike is rounder, while the 2016-on version reads as more contemporary with a tighter front end.
It is worth knowing that the fairing is molded to the year’s bodywork, so the 2013-2015 panels and the 2016-2018 set are not interchangeable, and the 2019-on parts differ again. Before you browse, confirm which generation your bike is by checking the model year on the VIN plate or the headlight shape, then pick the matching category so the panels line up with your mounting points.
Popular CBR500F Styles & Liveries
The most recognized factory look is Honda’s red-and-black sport scheme, with the clean white-and-blue and the stealth all-black close behind. These are the colors owners most often restore, because they read as “CBR” at a glance and hold their value on the used market.
What’s Included in the Kit
A complete CBR500F fairing kit typically covers the upper fairing and nose, the left and right side panels, the lower belly pan, the tail section, and the front fender. Together these form the full body shell that gives the bike its sport silhouette and protects the radiator and wiring underneath.
Fitment: Make Sure You Pick the Right Year
CBR500F fairings are molded to each generation, and the 2013-2015, 2016-2018, and 2019-on bodies do not share panels. Ordering the wrong year is the most common reason for a return, so take a minute to confirm your model year before browsing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these CBR500F fairings fit my bike?
They are molded to the OEM mounting points for the specific model year you select, with pre-drilled holes for a direct swap. Just confirm your bike’s generation before ordering to avoid a mismatch.
How long does production and shipping take?
Production runs 10-15 business days, then air freight adds about 15-20 business days or ocean shipping 20-25. A tracking number is provided once your kit leaves the factory.
Do the different CBR500F years share fairings?
No. The 2013-2015, 2016-2018, and 2019-on bodywork is generation-specific and not interchangeable, so choose the category that matches your exact year.
Can I get a custom paint job on the CBR500F?
