As mentioned in a previous post my previous post I've decided to tackle my fairings. I've pretty well come to the conclusions that OEM is out of my budget, I can't justify spending that much. Which pretty much leaves me with the Hong Kong/ China fairings. I've read a ton of other posts on here about them and issues with fit and whatnot, but I'm fairly well committed to it. I've narrowed it down to what appears to be the most reputable overseas dealer I can find motorcycle fairing kit_fairing stay bracket_headlight and I've had several back and forth emails with them. $520 to my door for the orange and silver set I've got my heart set on. So heres where Im at,

1. Is there anywhere in the US I can find this and will it be any better?
2. If I go ahead with this what am I going to need to (tool wise, extra parts, etc) to make them work?
3. Should I even bother trying to put them on myself?

I'm open to any and all suggestions and advice

 

1) Personally I haven't seen any U.S based companies, but that's not to say there aren't any
2) You really only need two or three sizes of allen keys, a philips and flat head screw driver, and a small drill bit or file to enlarge any holes that may be off.
3) Its really not difficult at all aside from the rear fairing which is finicky to get on and off, just pay attention to how you get the OEM one off and reverse it for putting the new one on.

Shouldn't take you more than an hour or two to get everything switched over.

 

Thats exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks! I'll put up some pictures and updates on how it goes.
