first wreck

[mhuffman]

had a nice mint 08 1krr and i was turning and hit a nice little clump of pebbles and sand from where there was an accident that i didnt even see(trust me i keep a look out for this stuff) and the back slipped out and it layed down and i got off of it and it flipped over to the other side and messed up all the ferings pretty good and broke the windscreen and both mirrors and ripped off one rear set. and i got away good just a scraped knee. so who makes good ferings for a good price

That sucks man... sorry to hear it. I've done just about the same thing.

If quality and fit of the fairings are really important to you, you would probably be happiest with a nice set of used oem plastics. No aftermarket fairings are the same quality as oem from what I have seen.

I ran a set from auctmarts fairings for a while, and they actually fit well and held up better than I expected. I've never had anyone notice that they weren't oem, but it was obvious to me. Every time I've taken my bike apart, something would break. Usually just a small tab or something that wasn't a big deal, but enough to be annoying. For the money, I was very happy with them. I knew there was a good chance I would drop it at the track, so I couldn't justify the big bucks of the oem stuff.

No, but it looks like it's the same as all of the Chinese stuff on ebay.

[mhuffman]

yea it sucks! and its the same stuff just a wholesaler and alot cheaper and i was looking at the pics and they same to be decent quality cant tell without them in my hands! but shoot for 400 i could get them and have a friend paint them if the paint is crap and oem aint sheap my friend is able to get me all fering at cost( his mom owns the dealership and he runs parts) and it still is pretty expensive

[mhuffman]

they have a set on there for 400 and the front fender tank cove and tail ferring are pink and everything else is silver i was thinking about getting them and doing a breast cancer bike? just dont know what kind of reaction i would get from other riders
