This thing sounds broken...


« on: June 22, 2008, 08:28:33 PM »

I hate to cross-post, but I figured I should put this over here too...

Has anyone used bodywork from a company called e-Racing? They advertise a full set of 748/916 bodywork for only $340!! Before I toss my $$$ at it, does anyone have any experience with their product? I only need it for track use, so it's not like it needs to be showroom perfect, but I'd like it to be a decent quality.

Let me know if you've used it. Pros? Cons?
Thanks!  waytogo

I have not used it, but I've heard nothing good from the people who have used it. Quote "it shatters on impact"

To me that's not something I'm going to waste my money on.

Here's a really good write up on another board about track bodywork. I actually bought Attack Performance bodywork from the guy that wrote this and everything he's said so far has been correct. Here's another thread on my trackbike project that's got the Attack Performance bodywork if you're curious. It's been easy to work with, fit great and seems pretty strong.

So you bought bodywork from Tom too?  Grin

I also got my Attack Performance kit from him after doing some extensive research and getting feedback from the local racers/trackheads.  He had painted a few bikes of some friends of mine.  Seems to know his stuff.

With the e-racing, pit-eck, and other low-price bodywork, they go in line with the saying "You get what you pay for".  Meaning that chances are great that you'll be putting in some time with the dremel in making parts line up correctly.

We use Sharkskins and CRC for all of our track bike Bodywork

The better products will save you time on install, paint prep time and survive crashes much better. They will be easier to repair and often have better resale value if you want to get rid of it.
I think in the long run , you save money with the better bodywork--and keep the landfills free of cheap bodywork in the end.
