Hi All

I'm not sure if this should go in Mods or Vendor reviews, because it is a bit of both!

I finally got the time to put the farings on i bought from JMV concepts in France. These may not be to everyone's tastes but I really like them! :D IMO it completes the line of the front cowling, which i always thought looked a little funny plonked at the front of the bike.

They cost me €462 = ~A$540 painted & delivered to Australia. They're made of fibreglass and are all hand made @ JMV Concepts. JMV just used the Yamaha colour codes to colour match.

Alexia Valeur @ JMV is very friendly and helpful. She put up with all my stupid questions :) [[email protected]] She speaks English which made it a breeze! Their website can be a little confusing if you don't speak French, but I found my way through it. You can also contact them through their website (JMVCONCEPT leader en carenage moto). The farings were packed very well (in a large box) with polystyrene peanuts and airbags. Each faring was wrapped individually in more packing material. I will do a second post of how they were packed.

I am very happy with my purchase and very happy with JMV concepts. I can highly recommend them. After I made the payment I had the farings in around three weeks.

Now I just need to install my fender eliminator and leds!

The farings were packed like this:








Whoops forgot to say they came with instructions and fixtures! The instructions are in french but Google translate helped, plus there are pictures in the instructions. If I can work it out anyone can! However, I did re-write the instructions and will be forwarding them to JMV.

Thanks Camo. When I took it for a run today, I could occasionally feel the engine heat funneling through the vents in the faring. It was nice on this grey old miserable day in Wagga!

Looks good to my eyes. I was never a big fan of the faired version because like you I thought the fairing didn't seeem to belong on the bike whereas now it looks integrated. Good find.

It's a mini FJR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic, love the desghn and the detail, they've even left space for the frame sliders! If I had the fazer 8 rather than the naked I'd have this mod straight away. Thanks for the share and it looks stunning.

I don't like the look of faired bikes, like to see the engine and mechanical look. Yours does look better now, than with just the front fairing, and like the color. I agree it does look like a miniature FJR. Keep up the good work.

looks great, are the headlights part of the assembly?

Thanks. The headlights and everything above the blinker is standard FZ8S/Fazer8 stuff. The lower faring slips in behind the section that houses the blinkers and then has three more mounting points on the bike.

Wow, that bike looks good with those fairings. I'd say that's money well spent, any wind deflection for your legs?

Yeah, think there was especially at the higher speeds. Around town it wasn't noticeable, but when I took it up to ~100km/h 'ish :D there was some deflection. It wasn't total, but it was noticeable.
