Not sure it's worth wasting your money on a those fairings to be honest. DO you really expect the quality to be halfway decent for £150?

It would look ok with gold wheels anyway....

it does sound extremely cheap for what your getting but i think it could be worth the gamble because if i didn't like it i could just use it for trackdays and practicing wheelies etc...

I used one of these outfits to buy my CBR's new fairings.

Whilst they are certainly not as well-made as proper honda panels, they fit well and the finish is quite good.

And they cost a fraction of the price.

the tank cover is part of the fairing on the cbr, the actual tank itself is covered by the fairing.

The decals and colours are different to the original ones and they look a bit fake/cheesy tbh.
If you like the movistar rep you`d be better off buying the original sticker set and applying them yourself.A black movistar rep would look cool imo......just put them over your existing plastics.
(you`ll need to change the wheel colour too though....gold`s gonna look odd)

To be honest you can't really go wrong at that price and they would look amazing once fitted, plus you always have your original fairings if you'd rather use those after a while. Post up some photos if you buy them! Cool

They tend to be thinner plastics rather than proper panels which are GRP or ABS.

As a result they flex more but are ultimately not as strong.
