Since buying my F4 this summer, I've mostly been bringing it back to stock: original indicators, a centrestand, removed the HID headlight, and fitted an OEM exhaust (though I did ditch what I'm assuming was the original brake fluid and coolant, hohoho).

I've been doing all the work myself with ebay bargains. Unfortunately, a bad crack in the nose fairing by the right indicator keeps opening back up (terrible roads round here), and I'd ideally like to replace it and be done with the problem. Originals are old, cracked and expensive. Has anyone tried a Chinese copy like this one - no relationship with seller. Are they any good? A terrible fit? Okay? Flimsy? Sturdy?

I just put a set of ZXMT aftermarket fairings on mine, got them flat black and basecoat/ clear coated them white. Fit is spot on, does not feel flimsy at all. For the price you can’t go wrong.

 

Thanks so much for your encouraging reply, I have gone ahead and placed an order.

 

I'm currently completely restoring a 2000 cbr600f4. Mine is a mint north american bike. I bought the $360 full fender kit from a vendor in Shanghai hai. I bought the primed white ones and they fit perfectly. They also def appear to be stronger. I know this because the f4s were awful for being flimsy around the windscreen and mirrors.
I also bought a secdem windscreen.
Def better quality than stock. Both the windshield and fairings. I'm guessing it's due to the fact materials have improved since 2000 when these bikes came out. I can def tell the upper is way stronger as it's not flimsy like oem.
one note, the rear fender was pretty twisted when it arrived but I had no trouble forcing it into place and fastening on.

i had zero reason to change mine. I only did so because my 2000 north american one atleast, has the names of the two honda engineers who died testing the f4 etched on the inside by the headlight. I figured they may be a collectable someday.

 

Yes!! I second all of that, very sturdy feel. Don’t feel cheap at all. I think it took me a total of 30 minutes to put mine on. They line up great! They also aren’t noisy or rattle when you go over speed bumps or anything like that.

 

yeah let's call a duck a duck the stock uppers on the 99-00f4 were awful. That last 2 inches after the mirrors broke on alot of them. I'm painting mine white like yours, and I also bought the whiteface gauges. The only thing that sucks is you cant see your gauges at night hardly because stock black ones the numbers are backlit. The white gauges, the actual whole gauge is backlit. They look sweet with the white though.

 

I have the same fairings as the other guy with the white bike and black wheels, my setup is very similar with white bodywork and yellow wheels.
