Default Fairing kits

Just wondering if any company has gotten these bang on yet?

Have seen some tragic aftermarket kits through the past 5yrs.

any quality sets around now?

I have very little time to work on it but I got kits from Auctmarts. So far so good, and I also offered some helpful advice which they took.

The Auctmarts kit its pretty decent. holes are pre-drilled and line up nicely.
Just remember, no aftermarket kit is going to fit perfectly.

I can have the bike wrapped for 250, and consider clear coating graphics on top. Bike is in for a major refresh after my wedding in May, suspension, engine the works, basically want a track bike for the road.

Thinking White with HRC colours.

Fairing kits mean spraying the tank, about another 300, and worried about crazing and cracking over time. I know wrapping will prob de-value but I'll never sell this bike, there is nothing else, bar a 2004 upwards RSVR Factory, I'd conside and will prob own both someday.

I wouldn't even take a brand new 'blade over my 954rr, always been my dream bike ever since I got into bikes and where the model stopped for me, such a different weapon over my old 929rr

That's gorgeous. Does wrapping cover over the occasional Ooops we might have?

The guy I'm going to use plastic welds and blends, I'll try link examples.

My fairings are in pretty good shape, a few scrapes here and there, 14yr old bike though. I just want something individual, always have driven niche cars like FIAT Coupe 20vt's etc, hate having something 'common' although there aren't a great amount of 954's in my locality
