    Found fairings to suit 5th Gen. located in Hong Kong. The guy tells me the colour is not a factory match but the quality looks fine...have any of you guys had any dealings with this mob? Price seems reasonable incl. shipping.

    i've read they don't match factory mounting at all. close, but not close enough.
    but that could have always a competitor writing that review.
    personally, i don't see how they could sell a product that is so far out of spec.
    just remember you'll still need to have your tank and fender painted to match.

    Beware........

    I have a friend installing this fairing on his CBR. He almost kill himself due to the fairing pill off on the Hiway at high speed. The fairing (mounting point) does not match from installation and the air rip them off from the bike.:eek:

    I have a friend who bought a Repsol kit for a 600RR. Long story short is you get what you pay for. While they fit "OK" and serve their purpose, they are very brittle and are scratched very easily.

    On a budget and with some care, they can last a while.
