They're Chinese fairings. You'll find the similar from various eBay sellers. You'll get what you pay for.
  • You may have fitting issues, especially if the mounts are predrilled (they may be off).
  • It's not unknown to receive fairings with broken tabs
  • Add 2 weeks despite the advertised 12-15 days shipping time
  • Its possible when they do arrive, it may be outside Paypal's dispute window

It's really hard to say. Some people have had no trouble with china fairings. Some have had minor annoyances, like having to shave the pre-drilled holes to get them to line up. Some have had major problems, like getting receiving broken fairings and having major issues getting them replaced.

Go to the OEM parts sections. Not sure how you differentiate between the different availible color schemes (suggest calling before ordering). But all 3 offer OEM replacement parts, the fairings will be OEM paint schemes and are below MSRP.

Question

How badly cracked is it? Plastics can be repaired considerably cheaper than replacements.
