I'm looking at ordering a full set, they are nice and cheap - anyone know if they're good enough for the day-to-day?

Also, how much do you reckon i will get for my set, original nose/l-h side/seat unit all in good condition, r-h side unit damage repaired.


Here is the set in question.

They are made of poor quality plastic that does not flex and just shatters. Even laying the bike on its side will cause the plastic to crack like glass. Paint jobs are poor quality, chip easily, fade quickly and often miss matched on the colours. Bolt holes and mountings can be out of line or missing entirely causing panel gaps like it was made by a blue peter presenter. "race replica" fairings can have sponsers logo's incorrect. Chap on the Zx9R forum had Fhucs instead od fuchs on his.

Ive helped fit 3 of these fairings so far ( CBR 400 ZXR400 ZX6R) And all have been shite.

The ZX6r had no provision for mounting a headlight at all. The CBR had to have EVERY hole drilled in it for mounting and the ZXR was so badly made you could see through it in places.

In short.


DONT BOTHER
