Just browsing around for options on plastics. Would like to make its pretty close to a vfr750r but would like to get peoples viewpoints. Theres ebay option for pretty cheap.Fit for 1988-1992 Honda VFR400 NC30 Motorcycle Fairing Bodywork Kit Panel Set | eBay. Then theres the airtech version, which looks of better quality and much more spensive. Any other routes out there?

There used to be fairings made for the hawk. Had a set for a while that if I remember correctly where shaped off an r1, don't remember airtech or shark skins.
I never had luck keeping fairings or even belly Pam's from dragging on the race bike. On a street bike that probably would have been a problem and other racers have pulled it off so maybe it's just me..
With enough work you can make anything fit. Low quality bodywork NEVER fits right, but if you are fitting something that doesn't fit anyway it may not be much more work do deal with poor fitment issues on the bike it was made for..
I'm sure that is absolutely no help at all....Don't spend money and buy, spend time and learn.

I think he used these Ebay Chinese fairings and it may give you an idea of what they are like.

And ya, you can make pretty much anything fit with some ingenuity. Just keep in mind the hawk is a small bike, so you want to try and work with similar sized fairings or be ready to do some modification to the plastics.
Extreme example, Hayabusa plastics would have the hawk floating in them. But you can fit a LOT. Dude fit a full set of 748 fairings and it looks DOPE.
