I put some of the blue vinyl on the back seat and put it on. I found something else I stink at. there is no way in hell I would attempt that front seat. I will take the remaining vinyl and the seats to a pro. LOL. Also, on the chinese fairings, you will need an aftermarket bolt kit, or you will have to drill the holes out to accommodate the factory bolts. I just bought a $15 track pack and set about doing mine. the bolts on the fender were not all the way in the hole in the plastic, and some bolts were just plain missing. I also bought a set of blue anodized aluminum mirrors, but I can't install them because the existing bolts I have are to short and the ones that came with the mirror are too long. I bought some at HD yesterday, but they were also too long. I new I should have bought 4 sizes.

There are always some interesting sets of plastics on ebay. I've often thought of picking up a set but i always hear that they dont fit properly and aren't always the highest quality. Then theres the issue of finding someone to paint the tank to match, its so hard to find a shop around me that can match bike colors for some reason. I would also like to see some pics if anyone has them!

I bought them from Ebay (acutmarts1). I installed Dynamat Hear reflective matting to the inside of the side fairings. Used all the rubber Grommets with threads in them from the old fairings. They did require a little bit of drilling to open up a few small holes but that only took like 3 minutes.

They sent me the blue/gold Konica Minolta race front the first time and it took about a month and a half to finally get the right front. They said it was because of Chinese New year their shipping was all messed up... well I got the right front yesterday and mounted my headlights, Hotbodies Flushies (cheap plastic but holy god they are bright (super glue yay). Everything fit, well all the holes were in the right spot, but everything was a bit tighter than stock and not as flexible.

Good quality plastic but the paint doesn't withstand hit to well, but man is it snazzy looking (pics don't do it justice, from 10 feet away it was so glossy I could see my reflection in the clear). As long as you keep a good quality wax/hardener on them you will be fine.

In the end $540 shipped was not bad for this product, would def buy them again, and compared to OEM looks these look so much better totally adds to my bike.
and last but not least PICS!!!!!!

Looks good! Baby daniel looks very happy about your color choice! lol. What did you do about the tank? did it come with it or did you have it painted?

I had it painted by the local bike shop. and got replical.com to make me some tank wings... PITA to put them on but looks good. wasent to bad to get the tank painted $225 for prep, paint,etc. I actually finished it tonight. I'll put up some pics when I get some batteries for my good camera.
