You’ve seen the factory color options. Black. Red. Blue. Maybe a special edition livery that costs $2,000 extra. But you want something different — a bike that looks like yours, not the one sitting next to it at bike night.
At GoMotoTrip, we’ve been painting one-of-a-kind fairings since 2007. Custom paint isn’t an upsell — it’s included free with every fairing kit. You design it. We paint it. Your bike becomes the only one like it on the road.
Here are three proven strategies to design your custom fairings — with real customer examples.
Strategy 1: Start from a Factory Design (Tweak What Exists)
The easiest way to design custom fairings: take a factory color scheme and change the colors. You get a proven layout with your personal palette.
This RSV4 example shows what happens when you keep the stock body lines but swap the color to a custom grey-and-red combination. Drag the slider to compare.
How to do it: Find a side-view photo of your bike in the stock color you like. Open it in Photoshop, GIMP (free), or even PowerPoint. Use the color replacement tool to swap the body color. Experiment with 2-3 variations, pick your favorite, and send it to us.
Strategy 2: Borrow a Design from a Different Motorcycle
This is where things get interesting. Some of our best custom fairings come from riders who saw a design on a completely different bike and asked: can you put that on mine? The answer is almost always yes.
1. Red Bull WSBK on a CBR1000RR — This customer adapted the 2017 Fireblade SP race livery to their 2008-2011 CBR1000RR. Drag the slider to see the transformation.
The result isn’t 100% identical — different bodywork generations, different panel shapes — but the spirit of the design carries over perfectly.
2. MV Agusta Petronas on a Triumph Daytona 675 — One of our most requested custom jobs. The distinctive teal-and-black Petronas livery, originally designed for the MV Agusta F4, adapted to Triumph bodywork.
How to borrow a design: Find the bike with the design you want. Save 2-3 photos showing front, side, and rear. Note what you like — the color scheme? The decal layout? Send us the reference with a note: “I want this on my [model].” Our painters create a mockup for your panels.
Strategy 3: Create Your Own Design from Scratch
No design skills required. Rough sketches and color notes are enough — our painters have been interpreting ideas for 18 years.
Digital method: Use Photoshop, GIMP (free), or Canva. Paste your design onto a side-view photo of your bike.
Paper method: Print a photo of your bike, sketch with colored pencils, take a clear photo and send it to us.
Here’s what customer Kjell-Erik Nordli sent us for his R6 — a rough sketch that became a finished Monster Energy-inspired fairing. Drag the slider:
What Happens After You Send Your Design?
Here’s The GoMo Custom Paint Pipeline — from your sketch to the finished fairings at your door:
- Design Review (1-2 days) — Our painters review your sketch. If anything is unclear, we email you. If your idea isn’t feasible (e.g., photorealistic faces on curved panels), we suggest alternatives.
- Mockup Creation (2-3 days) — Digital preview of your design on your specific fairing panels. You approve it or request changes — no limit.
- Fairing Production (3-5 days) — Your kit is injection-molded from Virgin ABS using OEM molds. Panels are inspected for fitment before painting.
- Painting (5-10 days) — Factory painters apply primer, base coat, your design, and 2K clear coat. Decals are sealed under clear coat for permanent protection.
- Quality Check (1 day) — Panels inspected under bright light for paint consistency, decal alignment, and clear coat coverage.
- Packaging & Shipping (~20 days) — Each panel individually wrapped in foam. Free worldwide shipping via China Post Air Mail.
Design Tips from 18 Years of Custom Fairings
- Solid colors photograph better than complex patterns. If you plan to sell the bike later, a clean two-tone design has broader appeal.
- Dark colors hide road wear. Matte black and dark metallics age gracefully. White and fluorescent colors show every chip.
- Metallic and pearl finishes cost the same as solid. Don’t settle for flat — metallic flake and candy finishes are included at no extra charge.
- Send the highest-resolution reference photos possible. Our painters need to read sponsor logos and see where each color block starts and ends.
- You can change your design during mockup review. Nothing is locked until you approve the final preview.
Frequently Asked Questions
What software can I use to design motorcycle fairings?
Photoshop and GIMP (free, open-source) are the most common. Paste your design onto a side-view photo of your bike. For simpler work, Canva or PowerPoint work for blocking in solid color changes. Paper sketches with colored pencils work too — just take a clear photo.
How much does custom painted fairing cost?
Custom painting is included free with every GoMotoTrip fairing kit. The full kit ($400–700 depending on model) covers Virgin ABS fairings + free custom paint + free worldwide shipping. No design fee — you only pay when you’re happy with the mockup and ready to order.
How long does it take?
Production: 10–20 days depending on complexity. Shipping: ~20 days (free China Post Air Mail). Total: 4–6 weeks from design to delivery.
What if I don’t like the mockup?
Request changes — no limit. Change colors, move decals, swap the layout. Nothing is locked until you approve the final preview. If your idea truly isn’t feasible on your panels, we’ll explain why and suggest alternatives.
Can you copy a design from another motorcycle?
Yes — it’s one of our most popular requests. We’ve adapted Petronas liveries to Triumphs, Red Bull WSBK to older CBRs, and Monster Energy graphics across multiple brands. Send reference photos with your bike model.
Ready to Design Your Custom Fairings?
Every custom fairing starts the same way: you send us an idea, we make it real. No design skills required. No extra cost for custom paint. Just your vision, Virgin ABS fairings molded from OEM tooling, and factory-grade 2K clear coat that lasts.
