Default Where to order new Fairings in the US?

I had to lay down my '96 F3 last summer and I just now got it running perfectly. The only problem is some of the fairings didn't survive well. I've been finding some not-so-great quality pieces on eBay but they don't match my existing color scheme so they would have to be painted plus most of those I need are selling with lots of wear and tear on them.

SO, I've been thinking it just might be better to replace all the fairings on the big with a whole new set as just getting the individual parts is going to cost just as much, if not more anyway. So I started looking online at fairing kits and it seems as though all of them are coming out of Hong Kong with up to 30 days before they are at my door.

Does anyone know of any good places to order them INSIDE the United States so I don't have to deal with very long shipping and handling times plus any odd import taxes or duties? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

What I've been doing is wait for new or nearly new ones to pop up on ebay. It will take a while though. Or order new oem from a places like bike bandit for a small fortune.

I've been looking but like I said, it might be more work than it's worth. As for BikeBandit.com, their prices are so outrageous it's laughable. Priced out there I'd be paying more for 3 plastic fairing pieces than what the bike is worth. Their prices are over 3X the price of ordering OEM parts from my local dealer! No, they are not an option.

You can have cheap from Hong Kong with decent quality or you can have OEM from the states for very expensive.

You best bet is to get some chinese fairings and your bike will look good as new.

If you truly want fairings from inside the US, I would sell your bike and take the thousands you would spend on fairings and just upgrade your bike

I Have been doing alot of research on the subject and reading a ton of reviews of fairing companies qualities, not just for cbr's but for every manufacturer and I came up with two companies that have cbr F3 Fairings.

Nice cycle- Use Code SSB to take an additional $100 off
F3 Fairing - CBR F3 Fairing - Honda Fairing | NiceCycle.com

Accumart Fairings.

I only trust these two companies on aftermarket fairings and also understand that both companies take customization requests

The big problem you will run into with aftermarket is that they are made for 97 and 98 bikes, so you will have to switch your seat.

The nice cycle link has 95-98 and the accumarts only have 97-98 like dyracuse said.

Check what you're ACTUALLY getting. 95-98 fairings when listed as that are ALWAYS 97-98 fairings, they never have 95-96 tails. The only time a set is ever 95-96 is when it says 95-96
