Default ebay fairings from Hong Kong

Hello gang,..... This is my first post here, so let me start off by introducing myself.

My name is Tori, i live in Grover Beach, CA. and currently ride an '03 VFR. Im shopping for a lighter, sportier bike, and have chosen the 600RR. I am still shopping for one and am conidering buying a wrecked bike to rebuild.
My question is: Does anyone have any experience or opinion on the fairing kits that are being sold on ebay. They are complete body kits and appear to be coming from Hong Kong. The seller seems to have good feedback, but im wondering how well the fit, and compare to the originals.

Thanks
TORI

How wrecked are you taking about? If its totalled be sure to get the frame X-rayed for cracks.

Read evry single negative feedback ever left for the vendor, and you should have a pretty good idea of what to expect. they are usually more telling than the thousands of "A++++++ seller!!!! OMFGWTFPWNAGE!!!!!BEST EVAHTHANKS!!!!!!" automated positive replies. Most of them should be pretty decent as they are "reversed engineered OEM" (cough, bootlegged, Cough) parts. hong kong and Korea have gotten pretty good at that type of stuff as long as it is not an engine/suspension part.

Hi, thanks for your thoughts on the plastics. Im kinda surprised there haven't been more responses, these seem like a decent deal, and i figured they would be popular(one way or the other/good or bad)on a CBR site.

Well, im looking for people with personal experience with these plastics and the seller. Thats why i didnt post a link. Figured if i posted a link, all id get is opinions on the auction, not opinionsfrom actual users and buyers of the product.

But here you go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-H...06274664QQrdZ1

Thanks for your help!

Ipaid forsome of the Repsol fairings for a 2007 CBR600 on ebay. The seller was from Hong Kong and never sent the fairings. After almost 6 weeks of them ignoring my emails I filed a grievance and got my money back through Pay Pal.
