Default Replacement fairings

Does anyboby have any input into buying replacement fairings from Hong Kong or Nicecycle.com?

I'm running a '93 cbr900 black/ purple/ yellow with a polished frame/wheels that has brittle andbroken plastics and i want to possibly match the colors with tank or go with something different.

Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

do not buy the ones from Hong Kong- i bought a set for my bike, they were a BIG pain to put on- they look great, but they r very poor quality compared to OEM ones....... big waste of 500 bucks

Default RE: Replacement fairings

I had the same decision to make early this year. I bought a 99 900rr that had all the plastics stolen, I got the bike cheap and looked at buying from Hong Kong etc. I ended up piecing mine together from parts I could find off of ebay and cycle salvage yards. I found it very difficult to find 99 fairings, there seemed to be so few on the market for sale, but I saw a lot for sale from earlier models. I ended up painting mine ducati yellow, then putting some carbon look cbr decals, the bike looks sharp. I ended up paying almost $600 for all the fairings, and the main headlight fairing was most expensive. What you might find would be a bit cheaper.
