Default opinions plz

yes fairings again!!

now should i get these (lowers) for £180, ready for spraying (spray them myself)


or these £240 but already sprayed


how much would it cost to get the paint mixed up?, i reckon it would still be cheaper to go for the first one, plus i think they look better IMO


edit: anyone had any experience with the top one, just realised that bike has a full system and may not fit standard , looks the same though

Forget the bottom ones they are terrible, seen a few about and they either crack or in most cases the colour doesn't match up right. Not to say you could be lucky and find a decent set.

I would go with Suzuki ones in my opinion like the ones below (image found through google)


The Poly26 ones will fit with your standard exhuast, the one in the picture is a slip one LeoVince. You may have fitting problems if you have a Micron system though, as they stupidly hang lower than any other exhaust.

are the ones in the top pic Poly26's or the one's supplied bye suzuki? i reckon i could get the paint mixed for a 10 - 20 quid so still cheaper than powerbronze

how much are the suzuki ones BTW? and do they do them blank so i could spray them (if it would work out cheaper)

If you aren't a paint sprayer by trade then i'd steer well clear of spraying them yourself, if you dont do it for a living then it will end up crap as all home spray jobs do without exception. Pay the little bit extra to get the fairing sprayed.

If they are all prepped then it shouldnt cost much and you'll get a job that lasts.
