I hope you know how to drill fairings! If you don't, please don't ruin those beautiful plastics, just pay someone a little bit of money to do it. BTW, if you can please keep pics coming so we can see the progress... before and after pics are always in style.

Be interested to know whether the fairings are good plastic like ABS or are fibreglass.

btw, dropped mine at walking pace recently. Had topbox key hanging off webbing strap to the front of the yoke to avoid scratches. Well, it didn't work! Topbox key jammed between the fairing mount and ignition mount while I was trying to zigzag in stopped traffic. Fell sideways like a bowling pin

I have also checked out that same set of plastics and really like them. I don't want to rain on your party but have fun re-painting your fuel tank to match the new platics. Also, I am curious if the decals are under or over the clear coat. I'd rather peel off the 'fireblade' decal. Like the rest of the group, can't wait to see your custom look.

Yeah, I may two-tone the tank (blue/black) to make the match easier. Maybe resembling this on top of my polished frame.

YES! That is sick!
I have been playing with the idea of powdercoating my swingarm, rearsets and those misc pieces so that everything matches the frame plus a Jardine carbon can to finish it off.

Ok, here is an update. This is a message I received from Auctmarts1 on Ebay in reference to the fairings I ordered. I replied and am waiting for a reply with an estimated time of arrival. I'll keep yas posted...

"Dear customer,
In regards to your fairing kit order, I’m here to apologize to the delay on your fairings.
This delay was occurred due to the weather in the southern climate in prosponing the paint
to dry within the calculated time. Therefore almost the whole patch of the fairing kits within
this period of time was ruined because paint was not totally dry when packing was done...
Our quality control have looking to the problem then instantly removed all the out bound shipment
and have to redo all the painting. Again I’m very sorry this delay has happened and we are going to
catch up back to date ASAP and we will not let you down... your patient is much appreciate and
we will send you some gift as a appreciation for your patient.

Thanks
If you have any question please feel free to call us direct @ +852-66821268 or email us direct

Thanks
Auctmarts "
