I just bought a clean set for 625 shipped with stay, has 3 small paint chips on it on right hand side where it says honda... and that can be covered up with touch up paint... otherwise completely MINT!

You can find them on race forums, I am POSITIVE that theres a guy on wera forum selling a minty white F4i OEM fairings for 600 I think it has 2 tiny rock chips on it.

I've been busy snowmobiling but now that the snow is gone I got started putting things back together a week ago. Actually pretty happy with the quality of the paint work and the colours. I have the new Hong Kong headlight in the cowl and cowl on the bike along with the front fender.
Couple of problems so far. The front fender has a small twist to the left but it seams to be getting better since I bolted it on. Most of the windshield, cowl and headlight assembly were lost at the accident,so I'm missing all the bolts, speed nuts, well nuts and what have you to re-install the pieces. I've been to the local bike wrecker 5 times now and they have been a big help. I had them check and rebuild the front forks, good plan since one fork was bent. They got it straightened. Had to buy a left handlebar switch, the bracket to support the cowl and instrument cluster, and various fasteners as mentioned above.

Tank and undertail are off to the paintshop tomorrow. Ordered some heat shield from a performance shop in town. Need to buy a mirror and a headlight yet.

Hopefully have it all back together by the middle of next week.

My F4i has eBay fairings on it. I didn't even realize it until after I bought the bike. The bike only had 5600 miles on it so I assumed they were just new looking anyways. Come to find out the last owner had a little "oopsy" turning out of his driveway. Sold his original fairings and bought these before he put the bike up for sale. Of course this didn't come out until after the sale. Anyways, for what its worth, these are pretty nice knock-offs. He didn't know wtf he was doing when he fit them but with some work one afternoon, they look pretty good. Paint will scratch easier than an OEM for sure.

My less than 100 miles chinese fairings CRACKED for no reason. The crack is very close to where the two side fairings bolt together, at the bottom section, right behind the front wheel (or below the header)

I am so freaking pissed!

I am going with quality aftermarket from now on

Well,,,,,,,, I finally got everything here for parts and attacked it yesterday. A couple of lingering issues (like the gauges don't work) but I think it turned out alright.

I'm thinking it needs an orange Honda wing for the tank and maybe powder coat the wheels, black out the footpegs and mounts.

Anyone try www.neverland-motor.com ? $370 + Free shipping for complete fairing set. Cheapest I've seen and the couple of reviews I've heard so far have been generally positive. Contemplating ordering a set.

If you go to the actual check-out shipping is $150. So they are actually the same price as al the others.
The free shipping is on some of the other stuff they sell.

Paid $500 for my eBay fairings, fitment was perfect on everything except the tail. they cut the grab bar holes .5 inch off so nothing lined up. after several emails back and forth they are sending me the replacement fairing. all in all i was happy.
