This bodywork put Armour Bodies on the map in the US market. Pro Series fit, finish, flexibility and crash worthiness has made it an industry leader. Introduced for the 2008 season, Pro Series became anything but just another moderately priced bodywork set. The quality is apparent as soon as you pull it out of the box.
Full Sheet Fiberglass - Each kit is assembled from full sheet fiberglass allowing for the strongest, lightest bodywork possible. Other manufacturers save money using scraps of fiberglass in their kits making them heavier and more brittle. Pro Series bodywork will often survive a crash that would some leave other bodywork in pieces.
Special Resin - Armour Bodies uses a special resin derived from the kayak industry. Originally created to withstand rocky impacts, our specially formulated resin provides superior flexibility and weight savings. This resin also has a very low shrinkage ratio, ensuring a perfect fit.
Finish - We spend more time finishing our bodywork than any other manufacturer in the industry. Every kit is meticulously finished, filling holes and sanding edges to insure a perfect surface on every kit. The bodywork is ready to paint with just a light scuff, saving you time and money in the booth.
Carbon/Kevlar Reinforcement - New for the 2011 season Armour Bodies has raised the bar once again by adding Carbon/Kevlar reinforcements to all the mounting areas at no extra cost. These reinforcements help prevent cracking at the mount points during a crash, keeping your bodywork intact and on the bike where it belongs. Our flexibility, finish, fit and price set us apart from all others.
Additional Information:
- Kit includes upper, lower, tail, draft pan and fender.
- Supersport kits include a standard tail, which use the stock seat. Superbike kits do not use the stock seat and a foam pad seat is recommended.
- Pro Series bodywork has the same award-winning fit and finish that took the industry by storm when Armour Bodies scored among the leaders in every single category in the Roadracing World bodywork comparison.
- Finished in a high quality primer that is ready for paint after a light scuff.
- This is the perfect kit for racers or track day fanatics who want top quality bodywork at a price that they can afford.
- Note: Free shipping on complete kits of bodywork purchased. Shipping costs apply to individual pieces.

HOLY CRAP.... WORTH IT
I put the Hotbodies on my 2015 R1, and as others pointed out, they leave a bit to be desired. The finish isn't great, it takes a good amount of time to drill all the holes. The tail would not fit and broke while putting it on. I have since purchased a 2021 R1 and am outfitting it for next season and I will say, if you have the extra money, buy the Armour Bodies. Fit and finish, smoother, cleaner, flexibility, and predrilled holes make it a no brainer. I will also say that it looks like they really took care when finishing all the edges, there are no parts that were left untrimmed, and was eye opening when I unboxed the amazingly packed and perfect shipment. When I talked to the guy painting the plastics, he just laughed at me and said "well, you learned the hard way." I am now an Armour Bodies fan through and through. I am actually thinking of junking the 15 plastics and ordering another set of these for my '15 R1.

Good not great
Had high expectations for these and they were 80% met. There were marks in the seat and couple of spots on the fairings where something had rubbed through to the fiberglass requiring patching / glazing before painting. My biggest gripe is the alignment of the lower and upper fairing. They just don't lineup as nicely as you would hope and try as you might you just aren't going to get that corner near the radiator flush. On a side note - where these parts join is right where the radiator lines and radiator is closest to the fairing. If the joint was 2 or 3 inches higher the dzus fasteners would be much easier to place. Still happy with the purchase.

Easy install, good quality
If u can use a drill u can install this bodywork. Pre marked indents were spot on. Dzus fasteners a little tricky to drill out. Just watch video on install. Primer finish is excellent, easy to paint. Would buy it again. Used hot bodies before, this is a much better product.
