We used to use Airtech's bodywork for our road race bikes. Good stuff and fairly durable considering the high rpms and endless laps we used to put on the bikes. It comes with nice gelcoat finish ready for primer and paint/

A lot would depend on how solid you mounted the body. It would have to be tight against the mounts so it couldn't move around. On the street, just a few like they use on the track wouldn't be enough. You'd want to have mounts in a few more spots...anywhere the wind or natural vibration might cause it to flex...especially at the outer edges.

Good point. I would also use rubber grommets on the mounts to prevent cracking.

This bike used to be run as an injected nitro bike but switched over to turbo. Guess the mileage wasn't too good running nitro!

He sold the body off that frame a few weeks ago. It was a Ninja body like you are looking for. Too bad you didn't see it sooner but they show up every now and then so just keep an eye open. The frame took a little longer to sell. That seller is great to deal with. Have bought many parts off him in the past.
