My stock fairing all cracked from the loads and vibrations, and melted right from the exhaust pipe.
Tell me, please - a stock rider saddle normally install on the racing back fairing?

EBR 1190 RX
Kit comes with two seat options, one will use the stock seat RX, and the second is for the RS, fiberglass seat pan.
I mail to Rick today, and here is what he said:
Q: I want to use a race bodywork kit for driving on public roads. Does the front fairing with cutout for headlight?
A: Our race bodywork is strictly made for the race track so there is no cut out for lights at all.
Does anyone on this forum tried to install headlight in the race bodywork? I think Mike wanted to do something like that after his road accident ...
Q: Can I use this race bodywork with stock exhaust system (for example, belly pan)?
A: Yes you can use the OEM exhaust.
The manufacturer claims that this is possible, and no fire is not going to happen.
Whom to believe?
I write to him about it now. Let's wait for his answer.

Operational answer of Rick:
The bike we used had the OEM exhaust and I don’t think we had a problem. If it does come close then you could install some heat shield tape to prevent that or cut out the lower for venting.

The back of the belly pan will be in contact with the exhaust, you would have to cut away that section along with heat shield tape.
Yea, and it will catch fire. Effing cats in the stock exhaust are ridiculously hot.Originally Posted by mackja
I don't really care if you believe me or not, Zvaidi, I just ask you to run a camera when you go for a ride.
Ok.
What part of belly pan heated and fire - 1 or 2?
Very strange, that the heating of the cat does not melt stock fairing, which is thin and fragile... A fiberglass thus melted.

Heat tape in section 1, back bottom of secton 2 will need to be modified, heat tape also.
Thanks.

The back of section 2 will need to be cut, as indicated.
The BOTTOM of the belly pan is what is in contact with the exhaust. So, not 1 or 2, but literally the underside.
Even if it doesn't catch fire, you will burn through it.
