Do you have any pics of the fairings installed? How was the fit? How much modification did it take to get them on?

 

Yeah sure thing, here is some pics,

Fitment was pretty good overall, I only had to drill one hole a little bigger for screw to fit. But basically no modifications, it turned out really well and didn't take too much time.

 

Wow! Looks great man! I'm jealous haha, congrats.

 

Thanks! It has taken a long time to get it like that. I really wish I would've taken before and afters of it...

 

I think my biggest concern is durability, and long term quality. Everyone talks about having it for a year, and it still looks great. I'm wondering how it looks after 5 years. I've bought ebay items that were very cheap, and did the job that was needled, but those items ability to survive was very poor. Anyone on here have Delkevic for over a year and still happy with them? Also, any people buy these guys on sale or anything like that? I have to be the penny pincher, but if i can find things for a better deal, i'm willing to wait.

 

Dragondima: I JUST installed the Delkevic fairings on my F4i (02), and they look and line up good, maybe a little tight, but I do question their durability even now. The plastic is no where near as thick as the OEM (which I've opted to also have repaired and painted). I haven't evened turned the bike on since I put them on, and don't plan to until I've put more heat shielding near the headers. I put brand new OEM shields on, but that doesn't offer me enough comfort to ride it yet. Also, the screw holes that match the lower crowl to the front crowl are not the right size for the screw-in mount to fit in (easy fix though).

That being said, they are probably the number 1 or 2 aftermarket you can buy.

 

Hey Johnny I have Delkevic fairings on my F4i as well and I assure you the durability is great. I put the OEM foam heat shields on it and ran it all season is 90+ degrees without 1 single problem.

 

Thinking about ordering Delkevic's... did they come with a hole drilled for a frame slider?

 

Guys you can get OEM plastics in GOOD condition (almost minty) for 650 shipped... why get hongkong when you can do better.

 

When you say good what we you talking here. Any scratches? Any broken tabs? Will it need new paint?

Can you post a link to where you are finding these?
