ebay plastics from hong kong??
Has anyone here purchased (or know anyone who has) those fairing sets off of ebay that come from Hong Kong? Usually priced around $250+shipping, like this....

The price sure cant be beat, but im thinking there has to be some catch, mainly fitment issues. But its a hell of a lot easier and cheaper than repainting everything, so if theyre ok I'd be willing to work minor fitment problems.

I was wondering the exact same thing, I was planning on doing the Repsol kit but didn't know how the fitment would be. Also on a side note if you notice, the black and yellow kit from Hong Kong says "The Power of Preams" instead of the traditional Honda taglinePower of Dreams.[sm=WTFsgign.gif] Funny Misspell...

i was skimming through that ebay post, and shipping is another 220 bucks, but i guess that still works out to be a pretty good deal, compared to what buying new factory oem fairings costs. Another thing i saw was that they only refund the price of the fairing, not the shipping, if you return it. that kindof blows.
I have seen one or two other posts on here about these hong kong fairings on ebay, but havent seen any bikes with them. maybe try searching for those posts and seeing if they did buy them/how they fitted.

I was looking at a SevenStars kit...but I mailed a guy that left feedback to talk to him before ordering....he said they did not mount up at all and he had to either re drill holes or ziptie it to the frame...he also said that they melted in a couple months from engine heat, exhaust...and even from sun. So I just got new plastics and im going to get them proffesionally painted and then get a decal kit....seems like the safer way to go.
