Hello Eric, nice looking bike; congrats. I'm with Classic though, leave the bike the way it is. Those fairings are in excellent condition, plus they look good too. The Hong Kong (e-Bay) fairings are junk compared to the OEM ones you have. If anything, paint the ones you have with the Repsol theme, but don't switch them for the cheap ones, imo. But hey, it's your bike.

The bike looks GREAT, I would also leave it the way it is. Cool custom seat too!
I have heard MANY horror stories about the eBay fairings, they break, they never fit right, they need to be installed by a professional to even get ON the bike, etc.
If you picked up a project bike, I would totally encourage the theme change, but your bike looks like it has been really well cared for. Leaving it stock will for sure keep the resale value as high as possible, and you can always sell it to pick up a bike that is more worthy for the switch to a Repsol.
Just my opinion!

Don't do it
I don't think anyone would go through the trouble of switching the under the seat exhaust to side mount and changing paint to make an RR look like a F4i. I've seen that paint scheme before (minus the transformers sticker) on bikes for sale on Craigslist. Don't Ebay kit it out either, Thats like putting a big aluminum wing on a Honda Civic. IMO. Bike looks great. I'd leave it alone.
