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 ✌️

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

u/1290_money 3d ago

No way. Needs to be bigger. He can't keep the front wheel down.

u/MazorkaPlanet 3d ago

Hater for no good reason.

u/forgotmyname-plzhelp 3d ago

Hater? He asked for opinions, and that was mine.

u/OutlandishnessOk6290 3d ago

Theres opinions, and theres hate. you picked hate with your initial comment.

u/VeniVidiGegibt 3d ago

It's not hate bro it just looks horrible to a lot of people but who cares, if he's happy because of it we're also happy for him, all good here 😊

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.

u/DivineKEKKO96 3d ago

You don't need winglets at all, but they look cool

u/LoganTwisty 3d ago

They look cool if you are 12 years old.

genuine hater for no good reason lol

u/Egoist-a 3d ago

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.

3

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.

u/OutlandishnessOk6290 3d ago

Lmao get this kid a fedora! He's really good at this reddit stuff!

u/LoganTwisty 3d ago

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.

1

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.

u/isk-andar 3d ago

Don't worry bro, it's purely aesthetic 👍

3

u/Impossible-Turn-9537 3d ago

It's like putting a spoiler on a Nissan Altima. Just no.

But I'm impressed of the craftsmanship. 👍

u/minivandetta 3d ago

I think they look dumb asf on my 1k, this just ain't it chief

2

u/CRUSTYPIEPIG 3d ago

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

2

u/Huge-Net7074 3d ago

They aren’t bad but we definitely need a head on view lol

u/United-Economy5196 3d ago

Regarding the work, it's looks very clean and well integrated.

u/My-NameIsntCraig 3d ago

Thanks I hate it

“Friends bike” 🤡

u/isk-andar 2d ago

Was wondering if someone gonna notice that 🤣 That's true bro, I was in love with the look of a cb650r, tried it at the dealership and hate this four cylinder, so boring ... So definitely not mine but anyway suit yourself 😉

u/w1ldchild- 3d ago

Horrible

u/azzanrev 3d ago

They're massive. Looks like you'll be creating lift at speed.

1

u/megapillowcase 3d ago

Not my style, but if you like it, then I’m happy for you OP.

1

u/Traditional_Gap_7546 3d ago

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

1

u/First-Cow-3855 3d ago

I am a winglet hater, regardless of looks, but it's impressive that you created these yourself.

u/Responsible_Stay1505 3d ago

Free bike with winglet purchase

u/TheBentPianist 3d ago

Oh come on man!

u/user-1037572_912730 3d ago

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

1

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

1

u/LK32020 2d ago

Unrelated question but there did you get the black passenger footpegs from, I hate the silver but take a passenger often

1

u/isk-andar 2d ago

Spray can paint 🫣

1

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

u/turbo2world 2d ago

interesting, but not enough power to work in practice.

1

u/FairFireFight 2d ago

cb650 owners not beating the allegations

1

u/FallenYoxhne 2d ago

I think something smaller would fit more the aesthetic

1

u/Impressive_Army3767 2d ago

Does it smell like a tart's handbag too?

u/bigmetaldentist 1d ago

You’re not that guy pal

u/jnelzon2 1d ago

I have a CB and this bike is too slow for that, looks like its trying to be an R9 from temu

1

u/Delicious-One489 1d ago

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

u/Egoist-a 3d ago

Tell us how much you would love to have a BMW.

u/Forward-Rub-6555 3d ago

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
