Anybody try the Chinese body
I have seen this kit on Ebay for a while and wondered if any of you all have bought this. I've got a 94 and I'm an old school Doohan fan, so I think this would be perfect, but when you buy form China who knows what your going to get.

I have a gap in between my headlight and upper. BUT, the chinese fairings on my bike were installed by a ghetto bike shop. They probably broke something in there. Who knows? They were on the bike when I got it. I just need to get the tank painted or otherwise covered. I am thinking about giving vanwraps.com a holler to see what they can do.

Yea, that supports what I've read about these kits. I agree that the kits look cool and all but having inconsistent gaps and/or panels with flushness issues to adjacent panels would be a deal breaker for me. The decision to buy one of these kits has a lot to do with what your requirements are in terms of fit and finish.

i got them on my bike. they for sure not just a bolt on deal, i think i had all the bodywork off an on about 3-4 times fitting it all up. also there was nowhere to mount the tail light in the tail section so i had to make a bracket to mount it to the subframe. other than that I had to just drill out a few holes to make a little bigger. nothing major

I have a friend that is the service manager at the local Yamaha dealer and I asked him about these kits. he told me for the price they are great. he does recomend taking your bike to a auto body shop to have it professionally put on. he said getting the holes to line up is the biggest problem. he tried to put a kit on and they lost money because they qoted the guy an amount and it took double they time to do it.
