1997 900 make over
#11
Took about 5.5-6hrs to complete the fairing install. THE BAD: The front fender they sent was wrong, and the inner panels for the upper fairing fit but the tabs that go under the head light fit on the outside not under the
Head light so I left them off.
THE GOOD: The fairings nearly the same thickness as my OE, the paint/decal quality is great, I didn't have to drill anything out. Baisicly take your time and every thing fit snug tight n right!!
THIS N THAT: I used stainless socket head screws from my work with Nylock nuts. Why? Because the clips for the fairing screws are made into the OE plastic so have fastners ready on hand. I orderd these plastics from a UK based company, and when they arrived in right about a month as promised, the shipping label was from china, i was nervous then... but every thing went together very well unlike alot of Ebay feedbacks i read while doing my homework on this..
Overall I am extremly happy, I will post a link and finished pics tonight.
here are pics. my phone only has 2 mega pix cam, also i have yet to replace the mirror stay so they look a little off to me LoL
www.motocc.co.uk is the web link. my kit is the only standard kit for a 96-97 900. but they had tons of kits for other bikes, and lots of options using another kits graphics/colors, fitment services for people in the UK, and more. i think my kit was $650 to my door in the US.

I think nobody has commented cause we all busy researching for fairings as good as those!! LOL.
Bike looks sharp bro! And even though the camera isnt the highest HD supercam on the market () you can still see the deep gloss.
From your experiance with them, seeing as they outsource the manuf. to chinese firms, could it be that the company has tighter QC when accepting products?? Maybe thats why you didnt end up another statistic..
Anyway, enough rambling. Good find buddy.Enjoy them!!!

There is a link a couple posts up on this page.
I also have an update, these fairings can take some heat, sensor on radiator came loose and before I realised temp was approaching the red fast! I looked everything over well, and no
Warping or paint bubbles.
Also I'm a small guy 6 foot 130lbs and I use the subframe for the tail section for leverage to pull the bike backwards into my space(its up hill) and I relised yest putting the bike up that I was pushing aganst the tail kinda hard and thought damn
These things are taking some abuse! I intend to be much more carefull hear on out.
Didn't relise was I was doing until I put it up with short sleeves on. I hope this helps someone make a rough looking bike into new money! Thanks again guys!!!!

500 is a great deal, was the shipping fast? total was like $650 something. it was orig a little as i ordered a solo conv for the rear which it turned out they didnt offer for my year. they offer alot of options for color, scheme, solo seats, fitment and more. im still very happy with them as i get way more ' hey bike looks great ' then before. the only short term plans i have are susp upgrades, which have been moved down the list because my first child is due in the spring and my attetion has turned to our two cars and pick-up outfitting them child ready etc. and no my bike will not be for sale LoL
