Hello,
I need help trying to make a mountain bike look like a dirt bike.
The bike is a 26" V framed bike with front suspension only and I basically just want the dirt bike casing on the mountain bike but I literally have no idea what it's called.

Thanks

    Cardboard, sticky-back plastic and some crayons.

    Go to a dirt bike breakers, get the bits of faring and a tank and work out how to attach them, not a new idea by any means.

    Or follow John Noakes' suggestion above!

  • The plastic bits are usually known as fairings. If you google "dirt bike fairing" you'll see a couple of stores that sell them.
