Default Aftermarket fairings?

I am looking into getting a set of aftermarket fairings from this place.

http://gundamhost.com/auctmarts/shop...7f3d05eaa391c7

Anyone used them before or know of anyone who has, reviews online are so hit and miss.

These are what are normally referred to as "Chinese Fairings" usually sold via eBay (which would add a little protection if you buy via them). Quality of these kits can vary. Most I have read about require a little work to make them fit. There can also be delays in shipping and if there is a problem with them replacements and returns can be difficult. The reviews I read of them are hit and miss, but I understand they are generally speaking improving. No idea of this manufacturer.

I checked OEM prices and it means OEM isn't viable so stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I presume that its a black fairing with yellow stickers? Can you still get the stickers, what's the price of them and then how bad is the damage to the plastic? As spraying a couple of panels might well work out cheaper and without the hassle of getting the new set to fit properly.

Well that makes sense. Although if replacing just the two OEM bits is cheaper you'll probably end up with a much better fit that the aftermarket's.

Since buying her though all the paint chips around the front fairing has annoyed me no end to the point where i am thinking i should use this time to overhaul it all and sell the OEM bits to raise money afterwards.
