Went with the China aftermarket one. Had them leave some of the stickers off and sent them color samples of what I wanted them to look like.

it's hard to tell if the yellow to the left and right of the headlights is painted or a decal.

I've been fitting panels, lots of modification has been required. The paint doesn't match, the gas tank is out beeing painted. Here are pictures of what I have done so far. The right side lower fairing suffered some intrution from another part and that is being touched up also.

Life sure has gotten in the way of this project. My painter has finally finished the fuel tank. The current issue is I'm in the middle of moving and the bike is tucked away in the corner of the garage. More pictures when I get to the bike.

Ditto on what he said. Looks great. If you don't mind sharing, would be interested to know the painting costs. I think it would help members know if painting or fairing kits are the best route to go. Granted every place is different as are markets, but at least it's a data point. Can't wait to see her finished.

Thanks guys, the sticker kit was $100.00 delivered, the paint for the gas tank was $80.00- cost, I have a former coworker who paints cars for a living. We trade each other favors all the time and I just need to return the favor the next time it's required. A fellow biker brother . It may be a bit before I get to the bike but I will post more pictures when I get a chance!

Look great, what a result esp having a 'painter' for a buddy.
Just as a data point I had the lower R/H fairing painted for c. £200
The stripes are another matter well over £100 just for the lower panel.
