    I kinda like 'em. would probably consider them if they weren't upwards of $600, plus I've read reviews where the holes don't line up at all.

    I think I'll like my custom paint better, once I actually get to spraying it.

    I have grown to like the Repsol scheme. It must have the orange wheels though.

    It is a very high price. $790 CDN to my door. Then still need to paint the tank, powdercoat the rims orange.

    I can get similar ones for my 2000 GSXR750 for $500 delivered. Unfortunatly the GSXR needs new plastic.

    I want to do something similar to my dirt bike helmet on one of my bikes.

    I think it looks pretty cool and would be agood option for someone who had need of new plastics. I spent more than that replacing my tank, left side, front fairing, and rear fairing... If I had to get the fornt fender and right faring it would have passed $1000... And I got some of the parts used. Hell I have an extra tank that only has one dent in it that could be painted to match then I could just do a transformer thing when I got tired of one... hehe...

    I've been thinking of getting the Repsol plastics. Just can't justify $600 plus at the moment.
    Love the wings by the way... 2/505 P.I.R. - 173 ABN BDE

    I would consider it, if for some reason I needed all new plastics and a respray on my tank and wheels. But, to fork out that kinda dough if I already had good plastics on the bike? I don't even want to think about why I would have to do that, it gives me chills...:eek:
