    I made the mistake of buying the aftermarket ebay (Hong Kong) fairings for My cbr f3.This was after my mother backed into my bike :mad: . Do not buy you will regret it.

    The fit is terrible.
    The mounting holes are in the wrong place.
    The abs plastic is very very thin.
    Dealing with people in hong kong for refund is a joke.

    Yep, another thanks here. I seriously considered going that route after dropping mine in the mountains - only the shipping costs stopped me. Glad they did.

    Cheers

    Positive Comments

    The majority of their comments are positive because they don't only sell fairings. They sell lots of other cheap crap.

    Hey, that looks great, RaceAce. Would you be inclined to give us some details, like cost and the experience of installing the fairings?

    Excellent write up, RaceAce - many thanks! You've got a stunning bike, and did the community a service in the comprehensive review.

    With the feed-back score tied up at 1 each here, does anyone know of another site that has further reviews of these fairing sets?
