Description
NC30 Rothman Dark Blue Fairing Edition
Morten asked us to make some changes based on the below original Rothman fairing design:
1) I would like the blue to be a deeper, darker metallic blue.
2) I would like to have the red/gold stripe from the side panels continue across the radiator cover and have the bottom half of the radiator cover painted the same metallic blue as the side panels.
I have finished installing the fairing and in general, it is really nice. As promised I return with some photos and in-depth feedback on your product.
There are a few problems I’ll try to show you, for you to improve your production and make your product even better. Some of the problems I’ll point out you might already be aware of, other might be more challenging for you to uncover unless you actually have the experience of fitting an aftermarket fairing on the specific motorcycle model – in this case the Honda NC30.
Please keep in mind, despite the (positive) criticism, that I’m far from a dissatisfied customer! I still think you have world-class customer service and packaging, and I’m generally very satisfied with your product, but I also see room for improvement.
In this mail, just for completion, I’ve included the problems already mentioned in previous emails, which you have already responded to.
Ok, here goes:
Paint – in general:
In general, the paint application quality is varying. Your strong points across the board are the colors – as mentioned earlier they are deep, rich and vivid; very, very good. The rear panels have very good and vivid colors but have also areas with a too-thin (see-through) paint layer, but the clear coat is excellent with a rich smooth finish. The tank cover has very good colors and paints too, but the weak point here is the clear coat: The left side of the tank cover appears to have some clear coat, the right side appears to have very little if any clear coat. The surface seems rippled, unsmooth and unfortunately also with a few errors: A spec of sand / dust / impurity has gotten into the paint or top coat and does not have the same top coat brilliance as the rear panels for example. and also a little chip in the lower right side). I’d say that your top layer / clear coat need some improvement to reach the level of your colors application and decals.
Fitting – in general:
As already mentioned, in general, your fairing parts had a really nice fit, and honestly much better than I expected from a compression molded, fittings hand-glued, pre-drilled fairing kit. Well done! I had to make minor cuts in 4 places total, and only very minor modifications. I’d like to point out that the tank cover has an excellent and very snug fit. There is NO air space in there. Really impressive fit! Nose cone fitted almost perfect too.
In detail:
Photo 0597:
(Already mentioned and covered) On both rear sections, in the area where the panels join behind the seat, the white paint is so thin that it doesn’t even cover the base coat – you can clearly see the base coat through the top layer.

Photo 0601, 0602, and 0603:
(Already mentioned and covered) The “Rothmans” text decal on left side lower fairing didn’t come out satisfactory. The text has come off the fairing in a couple of spots and has subsequently been clear coated on top without being properly attached / corrected first. Additionally, the text decal is slightly skewed (but not much) and has numerous air bubbles trapped under it.

Photo 0606:
(Already mentioned and covered) All Rothmans logos (placed on both upper side fairings, nose, and front mudguard) are of a disappointing low print quality: Very obvious horizontal lines from printing. Text and field lines are fuzzy/blurry/cloudy/hazy and all-white text has a pink tint to it. I want to mention that all other decals are the good quality by any standard: Sharp, crisp lines and with very good colors and color saturation – did something go wrong with the Rothmans Logos?

(Already mentioned and covered) The small rear connection piece between the tail lights is deformed and bend out of shape.
Photo 2516:
First modification: The radiator cover and the lower left side panel did not join as shown in the photo. The reason is that the end of the folded recess on the left side cover was closed off and the radiator cover simply couldn’t enter the recess. I cut up the folded recess in the lower left side panel and the radiator cover enters nicely (modification not shown).

Photo 2517:
Second modification: The assembly behind the seat didn’t have a good fit. I removed approximately 1,5mm of material from each side of rear panel, to get the parts to fit nicely together, and I had to modify/recut the hole for the around the passenger seat lock. I’ll smooth the edges out and touch up with paint at a later time.
NC30 Fairing Feedback 2517
Movie clip 2537:
Third modification: The lower left side panel didn’t leave room for the side stand to pass. The movement of flipping out the side stand would catch the bottom side of the panel from the inside and force it outward, and could easily damage the fairing if left unattended. I cut out 3-4mm in an arc, and now the side stand passes freely the lower left side panel (modification not shown).
(No photo). Fourth modification: On both upper side panels I had to cut / open up the recesses in the joining brackets. The nose cone and both upper side panels simply didn’t join, because the recess in the joining brackets wasn’t sufficiently wide for the fairing part to enter and join. Very minor modification.
Photo 2580:
The fixture for the bracket doesn’t exist on your corresponding fairing part. Missing this fixture for mounting the bracket means that the tail lights can’t be properly secured. See movie clip 2581.

See movie clip 2581:
Movie clip 2581 shows how the taillights are not properly secured in the tail section. See photo 2580 for the original part and the fixtures for securing the bracket.
Photo 2582 and 2583:
Joining the 2 tail panels with the tail center part is troublesome. Maybe it is due to the fact that the tail center part was received bend/warped, and was reshaped (by me), that the fixtures and recesses don’t join seamlessly. The gap is approx. 3 mm.

Photo 2584 and 2585:
The cut-out for the tail lights are skewed and not straight and doesn’t fit the tail lights well. The gap between panels and the taillights are 3-5 mm.

Photo 2587, 2588, 2589, 2590 and 2591:
The colors on the tank cover are very good, but the clear coat is less impressive. The clear coat is generally poorly applied; uneven and cloudy – especially on the right side. I’ve tried to photograph a direct comparison on photo 2587 – please, notice the cloudy reflection on the right side.
NC30 Fairing Feedback 2587
Photo 2588 shows the ‘good’ side; you’ll probably be able to see the ripples and unsmooth surface.
NC30 Fairing Feedback 2588
Photo 2589 is a reference photo of another motorcycle – it’s parked in the same spot, in the same light and the same reflection; and in my opinion, it’s the quality I think you should strive to achieve.
NC30 Fairing Feedback 2589
Photo 2590 is a small chip in the paint, but it’s on the underside of right side edge and not really a problem – I can’t even rule out, that I myself, made the chip in the paint during the assembly, as I didn’t see it until after the assembly.
NC30 Fairing Feedback 2590
Photo 2591 shows the impurity / speck of dust or sand stuck in the paint.

Comments by GoMotoTrip:
Appreciate such in-depth review from Morten!
We do understand this is frustrating when it comes to compression mold fairing which is not perfect at all compared with the injection mold fairing. (It’s really out of an option as only compression mold fairing available for such classic bike in the aftermarket industry.)
What GoMotoTrip would do is to do the best customer service to balance such disadvantage of compression mold, like provided the FREE replacement in some situation like you’re in. Even you didn’t mention the fairing review post, we will do what we should do.
So what we’ve addressed is that the replacement of the below lower side fairing will be made + the correct version of Rothman decals. You don’t have to pay for the shipping cost as well. We should be paying this careless at our own.
Free replacements provided!
More photos of this fairing design. You can review how it looks like under different light condition.
Note: there is a NC30 seat cowl in the below photos. A customer sent it to us and we painted it along with his new fairing kit upon his request. That’s not available for ordering.

Absolutely. The designs on our site are just examples. If you have a specific design in mind, a MotoGP replica, a custom color scheme, or something completely your own, send us a reference photo. We will make it happen.
Yes. We can modify, remove, or add logos to any design. Want a Repsol without the text? Want your name on the tail? Just let us know before production starts.
Absolutely. Custom painting is what we do best. Send us your design, a photo, a sketch, or just describe what you have in mind. We will figure out whether it is doable on your fairing. Generally, no extra charge for custom paint on street fairings.
They are not painted on. They are applied as decals onto the base paint, then covered with clear coat. This sandwich method gives you the look of paint without the cost of custom masking. The clear coat keeps them protected against peeling, fading, and UV damage.
Installation is straightforward for anyone who has worked on their bike before. Your new fairing uses the same mounting points as the original. Just remove the old panels and install the new ones using the existing hardware.
If you run into any questions during installation, just reach out. We are happy to help.
Yes. If it is marked as injection molded, it is a direct bolt-on. Same holes, same tabs, same fit as your original bodywork. Take off the old one, put on the new one. No drilling or trimming needed.
For vintage models where we use compression molding instead, a small amount of adjustment may be needed. Our masters mark the mounting spots clearly before shipping.
We use virgin ABS plastic, the same grade OEM manufacturers use. It is chosen for its strength, heat resistance, and ability to hold paint well. No recycled materials, no shortcuts.
We are based in Guangzhou, China, right where our factory is. That is how we keep prices direct and quality controlled from start to finish.
Yes. We sell individual fairing pieces. If you need a specific part, whether for a custom project, after a crash, or an older model, just let us know your bike model and which piece you need. We will check availability and quote you. No need to buy a full set if you only need one part.
We keep molds for most models, so chances are good we can still make the piece you need, even for older bikes. For crash replacements, sending us a photo of the damage helps us confirm the right part quickly.
We do not ship to PO boxes, unfortunately. Most carriers will not deliver large packages like fairings to PO box addresses, and they often get returned. Please provide a street address for delivery.
Here is how it works:
0. Select your favorite fairing product.
1. Add it to your Cart page.
2. Calculate shipping to your country.
3. Click Proceed to Checkout.
4. Fill in your billing and shipping details.
5. Pick a payment method and agree to the terms.
6. Click Place Order.
You will receive confirmation by email and SMS. If your country is not listed for shipping, just contact us and we will sort it out.
A few riders have had success with this approach: split your total into two payments. A smaller amount (around 00) gets declared as the package value for customs, and the rest is paid separately. We will provide an invoice for that declared value if customs asks for it. It is not guaranteed, but worth a try.
Yes. We have been shipping fairings worldwide for nearly two decades. Every box is packed with clean, waterproof foam padding. We know exactly what it takes to get them there in one piece. Your fairing will arrive just the way it left our workshop.
Our injection-molded fairings are made using the same process as OEM bodywork. Heated ABS plastic is injected into precision molds, producing parts with the same holes, tabs, and contours as the original. That is why they bolt right on with no modification needed.
For vintage sportbikes where injection molds are not available, we use compression molding instead. These are hand-finished by our master craftsmen and may require minor adjustment during installation. We mark all mounting spots clearly before shipping.
No, we do not sell decals separately. The graphics on your fairing are decals that are applied during the painting process and then sealed under clear coat. This means they will not peel or fade like an exterior sticker would.
Your street fairing kit includes the full bodywork set, custom paint matching your design, and free shipping worldwide. Race bodywork includes the fiberglass set, Dzus fasteners, foam seat pad, and windscreen. Painting and extra parts like tank cover and ram air duct are available as add-ons.
Please note: the base kit covers the standard bodywork set. On some models, full tank cover and tail cover may require an additional cost. Check the product page for details.
Free shipping is included in the price. For US orders, we ship via sea freight plus local carrier (UPS or FedEx) for final delivery. For other countries, we ship via China Post airmail.
If you need faster delivery, China EMS express is available at an additional cost. Just ask for a quote before ordering.
Depends on where you are located. For US orders, your package travels by cargo freight. Once it is on the boat, tracking goes quiet until it reaches the destination and clears customs. That is normal.
For other countries, it is shipped via China Post airmail. Tracking usually updates at key points: when it leaves China, when it arrives in your country, and when it is out for delivery. If it has been stuck at the same status for a while, feel free to reach out. We will check for you.
Either way, hang tight. It is on its way. If it has been significantly longer than expected, contact us with your order number. We will look into it.
You can cancel within 2 days of placing the order, no questions asked. After that, production may have already started. If the fairing has been painted, we cannot cancel, but we can work with you on the cancellation fee.
Production takes about 15 working days. Shipping takes another 20+ working days. Total delivery time is roughly 35 to 40 working days from order confirmation. If you need it faster, ask us about express shipping options.
Each set includes: front fender, upper section (nose plus left and right side panels), lower section (belly pan), and a race tail, or a stock tail if you prefer. Extra-cost add-ons include tank cover, ram air duct, and painting job. Dzus fasteners, foam seat pad, and a clear windscreen are included at no extra charge.
Dispatch emails are sent automatically once the shipping label is created. If you have not received one, check your inbox and spam folder first. Still nothing? Let us know and we will resend it manually.
The base kit price covers the fairings with custom paint included, free on street fairings. For race bodywork, painting is available as an add-on for $300. Send us a reference photo and your bike model. We will confirm the total for you.
No. It ships in white gel coat, unpainted. If you want it painted and ready to bolt on, we offer a painting add-on for $300 which you can select on the product page. If you are planning to paint it yourself, just know that gel coat needs quite a bit of sanding and prep work before it is ready for paint.
Yes. Import duties and taxes are the buyer responsibility. The rules vary by country. For the USA, packages under $800 are typically duty-free. For other countries, it depends on local thresholds. We declare the package at around $100 to help reduce your cost, but please check with your local customs for the exact rate.
You will get email notifications at key stages, when the order is received, when production starts, and when it ships. If you ever want a status update in between, just reply to any of our emails. We will check for you.
We do our best to match your desired color, but please understand we cannot guarantee 100 percent match to factory paint codes. If you are planning to paint your tank or wheels to match the fairings, we recommend working with a local paint shop who can color-match in person. We are unfortunately not able to provide an international color code for that.
We would not recommend it. Race bodywork does not have mounting points for turn signals, mirrors, or license plate brackets. It is designed for track use where those things are not needed.
Street fairings are injection-molded ABS plastic, same as OEM, bolt-on ready, with custom paint included free. Race bodywork is hand-laid fiberglass, built for the track, lighter, with Dzus quick-release fasteners instead of OEM mounting points. Different tools for different jobs.
It is rare, but if a piece arrives damaged, we will replace it at no charge. Let us know within 48 hours, keep the part unused and in its original packaging, and send us a photo. We will handle the rest.
You can return a kit within the return window if it does not meet your expectations. No restocking fee, but return shipping is on you. If there is a defect, a paint issue, a fitment problem, or damage, contact us. We will sort out a replacement. Check our Returns and Refunds page for the full policy.
If customs contacts you, they usually need some documentation to process the release. We can provide an invoice and shipping details if needed. Just let us know and we will send it over right away.
Delays can happen. Customs processing, weather, or shipping volume can all cause holdups. If your package is past the expected window, contact us with your order number. We will look into it for you.
Tracking info is sent via email once your package is shipped. It usually takes a few days after dispatch for the tracking number to show movement. That is normal.
We ship worldwide. USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia, and pretty much everywhere else. If you are unsure whether we cover your country, just drop us a message. We will confirm.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) via Stripe, which also supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. You can also choose Klarna, Affirm, or Afterpay for buy-now-pay-later options at checkout.
