The Hong Kong ones don't look too bad, but hows the fitment, and the quality of the paint closer up? (And I heard they melt and warp around the headers). I don't mean to bash them, but there's a dude here in town with a "Repsol" 600RR with those Hong-kong fairings and they're horrible. But in the pictures they look great.

I rode with a guy (05 CBR 1000RR) who had a set of Rothman Plastics purchased from the same Ebayer (auctmarts1). He had a melting issue the frst week and quickly applied heat tape. Once the tape had been applied, his melting issues ceased. I met him a year after he put the plastics on and they looked great. I put sixty feet (60) of 1500 degreereflective heat tape on the entire inners of the mids and lowers. The true test will be that which comes with time, wheelies, high speed runs, Florida Summers, ect.

I recon the OEM are the best but if you wanted to go for a diff colour the hong kong cant be beaten for price.
