Default Crashed my bike =(

I have an 04 cbr600rr. I high sided it around a corner last night and cracked the tail piece and scrached the fairingalittle bit. Would you recomend buying oem tail section and right side fairing, or something fromhong kong where i get the whole plastic kit..? are thosenon oem kits any good?

Those non OEM fairings are not bad, but you might need to adjust them a little to get them to align properly. the fit and finish is usually close enough, but not perfect.

It just depends on what you want to do with the bike. OEM plastics will be thicker/stronger, but heavier. But the Hong Kong ones arent necessarily bad. You can also look for a used OEM plastic on ebay.

Sorry to hear about the crash. how did you fare?

You should be able to find used or new OEM fairings off of eBay, but you'll have to be patient. I found a brand-new red OEM tail for my bike for $100 bucks from eBay (because the dealer ordered it for a customer, but he never paid for it or picked it up.) So just spend a couple of weeks checking eBay meticulously, something will pop up.

Also, what color is your bike? My right side fairing didn't get damaged in my crash, and when/if I buy the bike back from insurance, I'm selling any fairings that are still good because she's getting track fairings.
