Icon2 Fairings?

So I have a 91 F2
The Blue black Fairings are beat, broken or just brittle.
So I am looking for options
Cant seem to find any junk yard in my area that keeps sport bikes
Trying not to shell out a bunch of money ordering new ones from Honda or after market.

Most of the fairings i have to hard of a life to fix. So looking for any good ideas that wont take up all my time or are simple enough to do.

I have also thought of replacing a fabricating out of Tin, aluminum or small gauge steel, but i do want to keep the bike light, and not living at work either.

So what have you done or bought?

ive done none of it personally, but i think fiberglass would be the cheap, easy, and light way to do it. my hurricane came with a box of broken plastic, and thats where theyre staying, its been naked for the whole 4 years ive had it.

you can shop ebay obviously... there may be a deal there. mix and match colors and when you get the full set you can repaint... or not.

you can also use mild steel or aluminum sheet to fab attachment points... and use fiberglass to back cracks, and bondo or resin to patch scrapes.
