I have yet to see a negative review of Delv on here. I'm sure they're out there, but it seems mostly positive. I think I would go with them if I ever was to get an aftermarket set of fairings.

They have a nice website too.

Only thing they should work on is on the quickness of getting them to you. Still faster than the china fairings that take upwards of a month to get. Got my delkevic fairings in about 13 business days from the day i ordered, which isnt bad.

ABS ebay plastics are JUNK. PERIOD. Nothing fits, everything is wrong, colors are off from part to part, they are missing tabs, the tabs that are there are glued on and break, the plastics crack, can't be painted, and sunfade in a year. They simply FALL APART.

junk junk junk.

some guy in the US is making afordable plastic, I have one of his tails, but I have NO idea who he is are where he is at. My supplier will not tell me. grrrrr.

Krux: I'm going through an almost identical transformation with my 02 F4i. I haven't officially ordered anything yet, but I've spoken with Delkevic on the phone and email several times trying to line up what I want and I'm impressed with them. Several guys at the shops around Atlanta seem to think highly of them also. I am going to go with them. All but Random944 has recommended them (It might be that he has had bad experience with a separate Hong Kong fairing company though). I'm subscribing to this thread. I'll also post the pics of the fairings once they arrive and are on the bike.
