Replacement road fairing - Curvy.
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've a badly damaged right hand fairing panel, so I'm looking for repair or replace options. Does anybody have any experience with this option from ebay / CWS (carswantschange)??

Yeah im agreeing with Jonnyrod, that is an insane price!

Although the fairing is unpainted, £170 seems a fair price. From the pictures it also looks like a single piece, where originally its 3 separate pieces. Not sure if that would make it tricky to fit?
I'm only basing my feeling of the cost on used fairings that I've seen on eBay or Gumtree (mostly damaged and / or the wrong colour) and track fairings (which look really good) costing more and not suitable for road use.
I'll also be looking for repair quotes from a local dealer that advertises plastic repairs. I don't know for sure but I'm expecting a price not far away from the list price of this fairing.

What year and colour are you after for replacement panels

I may have some panels in excellent condition, and some in fair condition, drop me a PM...

I can't look at ebay just now but a single piece would be a PITA, plus the cost of painting is hardly cheap. I'd spend time looking for the right OEM ones - and that's what I've done in the past. It's worth the time and possible extra cost.

PM sent JAMBO.
Fair point Johnnyrod, I'll keep looking for a little bit longer. (I should also post in the 'wanted section').
With an MOT soon I'm tempted to roughly plastic weld the fairing just to get the bike back on the road.
