We are a company OF racers FOR racers...

Bodywork is essential to a race bike for two different reasons:

1) Aerodynamics
Thankfully the factories invest a lot of time and money designing the bodywork so as to have the least air friction as possible. We at FACTORYBODYWORKS try and replicate the stock design as much as possible, but also alter it in the case that a race application might need more convenience in order to give you the beast advantage possible. For example, some of our sets have redesign lowers for easier removal; scratching lowers is a popular nightmare with some manufacturers when taking them off in a hurry. We eliminate that problem.

2) Fluid containment
As you know, lowers are also called belly pans. The reason behind that is because in the event of your radiator or motor leaking, the lower or belly-pan is there to make sure you don't spill fluids on the track and injure yourself and/or others.

What are some good reasons to use Factory Body Works Race skins?

• Light
• Durable
• Perfect fit
• AMA approved
• Easy on the wallet

Bodywork needs to have certain characteristics:

1) Fit
Bodywork needs to fit well on a bike AND itself to make it easy to mount, and look the way it was meant to. FBW bodywork does not need ANY custom tab fabrication to fit, everything just bolts on.

2) Weight
We are racing! The lighter the better! Would you want to race against someone with lighter equipment? EVERYTHING ADDS UP!

3) "Crash-ability"
In the unfortunate event of a crash, you want your bodywork to withstand some damage and not destroy itself; you want to be able to lowside and still pick up your bike to ride it. Any more "crash-ability" than that is useless, be aware and undestand this because many use this as an excuse to charge you more for their product. In reality anything more than a lowside will most likely require much much more than just new paint, don't be fooled on this, the crash-ability requirement should be changed to LOWSIDE-ABILITY. Also the more crash-able, the more material/resin weight=heavier bodywork and $$$

4) Flexibility
Ahhh the ever so important characteristic. Ask anyone and they'll tell you flex is one of most important matters in bodywork..... Flex is important, but not dire. The main reason why bodywork needs to be flexible is for fitment. Spreading uppers around the frame or around sliders, and fitting tails over sub-frames are really the main points which require flexibility. It is important that with flexibility there is CRACK RESISTANCE. You can flex anything but will it break or crack? As you can see in the videos ans pics, we at FBW have NO issues with flex and cracking.
