Introduction: Reviving a Legendary Superbike
The Honda CBR954RR (2002–2003) holds a special place in sportbike history. Often regarded as one of the finest superbikes Honda ever produced, the CBR954RR combined raw power, lightweight engineering, and razor-sharp handling in a way that set benchmarks for years to come. Even today, more than two decades later, the CBR954RR remains a favorite among riders, collectors, and performance enthusiasts.
However, time, use, and the realities of riding mean that original fairings often suffer from wear, fading, cracks, or crash damage. Genuine OEM fairings are expensive and increasingly difficult to source. This is where high-quality aftermarket ABS fairing kits step in—offering riders an affordable, reliable, and visually stunning way to restore or completely transform their CBR954RR.
In this comprehensive guide, we take a deep dive into Honda CBR954RR 2002–2003 aftermarket fairing kits, focusing on premium ABS injection-molded fairings like those offered by 12K Motor. From materials and fitment to production processes, customization, installation tips, and long-term value, this article covers everything you need to know before upgrading your bike.
Why Replace Fairings on a Honda CBR954RR?
1. Age and Wear
The newest Honda CBR954RR is now over 20 years old. Even well-maintained bikes will show signs of age:
- Sun-faded paint
- Scratches and stone chips
- Cracked or brittle plastic
- Broken mounting tabs
- Yellowed windscreens
Replacing fairings is one of the fastest ways to make an older bike look brand new again.
2. Crash or Drop Damage
Even a low-speed drop can crack OEM fairings. Because factory panels are costly, many riders choose aftermarket fairings as a more economical solution.
3. Customization and Personal Style
Aftermarket fairings allow riders to go beyond factory color schemes. Whether you want a race-inspired livery, classic OEM replica, or a bold custom design, aftermarket fairings open up endless possibilities.
4. Track and Street Builds
Some riders build their CBR954RR for track use, while others want a show-quality street bike. Aftermarket fairings cater to both worlds, offering street ABS fairings and fiberglass race fairings depending on the intended use.

Premium ABS Injection Molding: What Sets These Fairings Apart?
What Is ABS Plastic?
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is the industry-standard material for high-quality motorcycle fairings. It is known for:
- Excellent impact resistance
- Flexibility without cracking
- Lightweight construction
- Long-term durability
- Smooth, paint-ready surfaces
Injection Molding vs Cheap Molded Fairings
Not all aftermarket fairings are created equal.
Injection-molded ABS fairings are produced using precision steel molds that replicate OEM fairing shapes exactly. This results in:
- Accurate panel dimensions
- Correct mounting points
- Smooth edges and contours
- Consistent thickness
Cheaper alternatives often use hand-laid plastics or poorly shaped molds, leading to poor fitment and installation headaches.
Ultra Virgin Imported ABS Plastic
12K Motor fairings are made using ultra virgin imported ABS plastic, ensuring:
- No recycled contamination
- Stronger panel integrity
- Better resistance to cracking
- Longer lifespan
Guaranteed OEM Fitment – No Drilling Required
One of the most important factors when choosing aftermarket fairings is fitment.
These Honda CBR954RR 2002–2003 fairings are:
- Pre-drilled
- OEM precision aligned
- Guaranteed 100% fitment
No additional drilling or modifications are required when installed on a bike with undamaged mounting points.
Painted, Decaled, and Clear-Coated for Durability
Each fairing kit is delivered:
- Fully painted (inside and outside)
- Professionally applied graphics and decals
- Clear-coated over decals for protection
This multi-layer process ensures:
- Long-lasting color
- Resistance to peeling or fading
- Glossy, factory-style finish
The final result is a fairing kit that looks just as good—if not better—than OEM.

Race Fairings (Fiberglass)

Color Matching Services Explained
OEM Color Matching Limitations
Exact OEM color matching is difficult due to:
- Paint fade over time
- Differences in undercoats
- OEM material variations
- Environmental factors
Optional Color Matching Service
12K Motor offers a color-matching service if you send an original OEM part to their workshop.
- Cost: $50–$80 AUD

Because fuel tanks are metal and not included, slight color differences may occur. Many riders choose to repaint the fuel tank to match the new fairings.
Installation Tips for Best Results
Reuse OEM Hardware When Possible
- OEM bolts
- Clips

Factory hardware is designed specifically for your bike and often provides the best results.
Take Photos During Removal

Check Bike Alignment
If your bike has been in an accident:
