extremefairings is one of our sponsors.... you can search for them here.

Other good brand name fairing companies are Auctmarts and Delkevic.

Just make sure whatever fairings you buy that they are injection molded and not press molded.

It really is a crapshoot with the chinese fairings. You'll get a badge that needs litle modification, and another that needs tons of modifications. I purchased two aucmart set of fairings (for different years of CBR bikes). One barely needed modifications, while the other needed non. Fit was not as good as OEM on either one, but thats expected.

Both sets had a so so paint job, both had clear coat run offs. One set cracked on one if its side (close to the radiator) after 80 miles of use, and the other one did not cracked, even after a low side.

Unofrtunately, I've had my fair share of experience with fairings, from fixing and painting the OEM ones, to the chinese versions, and the USA made fiberglass ones (Sharkskinz).

If you dont care about keeping the OEM paint scheme/design, go with the Sharksinz. They cost a couple of hundred more than the chinese, and they need paint, but OMG do they take a beating!

I wish I knew the manufacturer of mine. They came on the bike when I bought it. I'm VERY impressed with the fit, quality, paint and clear. From reading others descriptions of Chinese plastics, I cant imagine these are them. Matter of fact I didnt even know they were aftermarket till I read a previous post where someone brought up the "PGM-F1" under the Honda logo. Speaking of which, anybody know why the aftermarkets have this?

Wish I was more help OP.
