What's a Lynx fairing worth?

    My recently acquired '08 TE came with a Lynx fairing with HID high/low beam. With some new financial uncertainties in the future, I'm looking over everything in our life to see what I could live without that might have some value to someone else. It's essentially brand new aside from the modifications necessary to mount it with a GPS, the speedo, etc.

    New, shipped to the PO, it would have been $620. $395 + $175 HID upgrade + $50 shipping.

    Any guesses? :D

    It's made by Brittanica Composites. This is their page about it...

    I'm not really sure where you are going with this thread. Are you actively trying to market you're fairing or are you just trying to get an idea what is is worth?

    I'll post a photo tomorrow.

    As to where I'm going with this... I was/am trying to figure out some choices I might be making. If the fairing is worth enough, it might be worth the effort to remove it if I decide I don't want it. Mostly just thinking out loud.

    I'd keep it. I rode my 08 with the stock setup several times at night and I felt it was dangerous on the street. If there's a chance you'll be doing much street riding at night, planned or unplanned, I'd keep the Lynx.

    However, if you do decide to sell it and any prospective buyers are concerned about the dash being unsuitable for their plans, you could suggest they contact Britanniacomposites about a replacement dash. When I checked early this year the cost for a new dash was only $28 plus shipping. I don't know if that is the current price or not, but prospective buyers might find that getting a new dash wouldn't be prohibitive.

    Fairing will be up for sale shortly. I do like it, but having decided I needed to get the suspension reworked, I need the money. I picked up a new dash for the next owner.
