well i'm gonna try a kwak kr-1s fairing up for size this weekend.
If its anywhere near i'll look at either a yam tz or honda rs 250
fairing as both are larger than the kr item.
will try to get a couple of pics while i'm at it.

I have to say that I think that they look completely wrong

in the search to simply bolt stuff on, consideration to the overall look is lost.

There is too much of a gap between the tank and the fairing IMHO and this loses all the classic lines of the TRX.

I spent a long long time getting my fairing to fit and had to do a load of trimming until I was happy - still, that's just me.

True - humble opinion is something I don't do :wink:

I'll rephrase - I think it looks completely wrong and I don't like it.

if we all liked the same thing the world would be a very boring place.
I agree it looks like it could have been put together better but all
credit to the guy for trying.
Maybe the guy likes the chasis but not the styling.
there are plenty of parts out there that would suit the trx better than an aprillia
body kit, an RGV250 fairing would follow the trx lines much better.
For me anyone who has a go and does more than bolt on a set of mini indicators, some crash bobbins and calls it a special deserves some credit.

Basically I fully agree on this.
Seen some mods though (e.b. cut an lifted backs) I make it dependent
from taste also. You can simply waste your time with ugly stuff. [-(

What have you got on yours?

It looks alright, I don't like those curvy tails though, they just look fat to me!
