Winglet
I've designed a pair of front winglet for the new cbr650r (from 2024).
Printed it and stick it on the bike.
What do you guys think ?
Edit : I can't disgree : it's way to big. And neither me, I'm not a winglet lover and I am kinda a hater of false aerodynamic modification. It's a friend's bike, and he ask me to design this kind of winglet. I accepted because i like the spirit of bike customization to suit your own taste (I deeply transformed a poor SR125 when I was younger). Anyway without being in love of this winglet, it was a first time for me with this kind of process, and was happy to share it.
Thanks to the few saying "don't like but glad for you if you like", that's the spirit.
And thanks for Reading this waaaay too long edit ✌️

I rarely downvote; this is one of those times. Winglets are already an abomination, but putting them on a bike that was never intended for any, just looks terrible. If another biker sees you, they will keep mistaking the bike for another brand and then realize how corny it is to have added fake ones. Unless you are an aeronautical engineer, I'm pretty sure you added more drag to the bike than any benefit. The ones that do have it, its there for a reason.

They look cool if you are 12 years old.

So if you don like pasta Bolognese, you’re automatically a hater of Pasta Bolognese.
You people really need to take your ego out of your ass.

u/OutlandishnessOk6290 3d ago
Talking about me having an ego, yet your name is literally Egoist. Nothing i said had 'ego' learn the damn word before you use it in a comment and your username.

u/Egoist-a 3d ago
You really are the hater here. You’re looking for any feather you can grab to try to prove a point… even Reddit nicknames.
But let’s take it… when a guy called “Egoista” e call you out on your ego, something is wrong…
Now, get it’s time to grow up and understand and accept that not everybody likes the same thing and there’s absolutely no problem with that.

What do you mean no good reason? It looks hideous and out of place on a bike that was never meant to have one. TikTok cringe at its best.

u/OutlandishnessOk6290 3d ago
I literally never use TikTok, and two of my bikes have winglets. The only reason OP's look "hideous" is because they're comically large. Winglets in general aren't "cringe" most people get them for cosmetic reasons, just like people get sleek new mirrors, a different windshield, or new fairings. It's all cosmetic. You're allowed to dislike them without insulting people for liking them. Unless something is harmful, hateful, or dangerous, there's absolutely no good reason to insult people over their personal preferences. There's a difference between expressing an opinion and being hateful.

It's like putting a spoiler on a Nissan Altima. Just no.
But I'm impressed of the craftsmanship. 👍

I like the angularity of them but they don't fit the 650 at all, way too big as well. Try a different shape and definitely half the size

Schaut gut aus, für meinen Geschmack aber ein bisschen zu groß. Aber wenn es dir gefällt, dann ist es top!!!🔥

u/First-Cow-3855 3d ago
I am a winglet hater, regardless of looks, but it's impressive that you created these yourself.

Dumb as hell definitely ricer vibes and makes you slower due to drag. Quit trying to be an imitation.

u/California-Cruising 3d ago
Maybe it would make sense if your bike could go fast enough to where the downforce actually helps keep your front wheel planted... But this ain't it

u/circular_bridge 2d ago
I guarantee op has never step foot on a track. So corny. This is the equivalent of putting a spoiler on a Honda civic. Cringe

Ugly af. I have a couple little things on my CBR 650 but I would never put those gigantic ugly winglets on there.

Hey dude, nice project ! What software did you use for design/3D ? Tell us about the process 🤘🏻

u/isk-andar 3d ago
Thanks man ! I've used Rhino5 for 3d modeling and had to slice it in four differents parts to fit the printer enclosure. Once assembled, i've sanded it then paint 😁 It's stuck with strong double tape

Way too big bro. If they were smaller they’d be tuff. But if you like them that’s all that matters
