Another happy auctmarts customer here. I paid about $530, which I knew to be cheap when compared to other places. Took about 3 weeks for the order to arrive and it was packaged well. The fit wasn't bad at all and i did have to enlarge a few holes. But it was definitely at least an entire day worth of work if you haven't done it before. Another thing to consider is if the bolts on your old fairings will match your new fairings. The bolts my bike originally had were red but my new fairings were black with some silver....and it was missing some bolts. I had to order a new set from bikebolts.com which added another few days to the wait after i removed the fairings . But once i finished i was very happy. I proceeded to have sex with it and then rode off into the sunset.

That actually brings up a very good point, how accurate is the color? If i'm spending 500+ on these things, i would like the color to be correct. My gas tank is red, and if i'm getting the same design as the ones currently on, is there any way i can make sure it'll match? It'll look weird otherwise... any suggestions on getting the colors to match?

bmorecbr, your bike looks great (Pam-Anderson-Great)! Thank you for sharing all the information as well.

Vangill. that information is very useful and some thing to consider for the guy that only needs a couple pieces. Thank you for sharing.

They're usually pretty close but the only way you can be sure you'll have a good color match is to bend over and buy OEM. And even then if your bike has spent alot of time in the sun they might not match

Of ur only spending 500 on fairings your looking for te cheap way out. They can match colors just fine. But like mine I got white instead of pearl white. Which is fine bc they r so cheap.

But there are never any garuntees with bike parts unless I go with oem. So it's either oem or don't care about it
