TomzKat Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hello Tony,Since I am in the states these are inches. I had my freshly painted Kat fairing sitting on my living room floor (out of harms way)so easy peasy to try and help out.. My fins are 6”long overall,1”at rear sloping (down)to 2”looking from the side ,then roughly 1/2” wide looking from front. Important thing too is they are “splayed “out looking from the front also ,so the front bottom of the tips measure roughly 1” wider apart than where they mount at the faring base under the headlights center to center. Hope this helps and look forward to seeing your work. Quote Link to comment

Ash Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 These fins would be ideal I think to cast in a silcone mould, might have a look into it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ash Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 At £78.90 for a pair (Robinsons) it might well be worth making some.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) 20.50€ + vat at CMSNL for the right side and 19.50€ for the left so round about half the cost there compared to Orange squash price Edited June 30, 2021 by Joseph 1 Quote Link to comment
no class Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 …… or keep your money for something more important …. like stickers or fish and chips …… besides , those fin thingies look horrible . 1 Quote Link to comment
cnap504 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I like the fins, who makes them in carbon fibre? Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Unicorn Japan or Magical Racing probably, they do all sorts of carbon body parts for the katana There are some in real carbon ones on Amazon too but cannot find the suppliers website Quote Link to comment
