Anyone who names their product skidmarks knows nothing.


In all seriousness I have no idea, just my ignorant infantile speculation.

I've used them to replace my zx6r ones when i crashed and totally buggered up the original. Panel fit is good although not as good as originals, BUT definitely not as bad as chinese panels. Fibreglass is thick but also has sufficient give in them to not be brittle. Even in white, they look good.

I give em the thumbs up[/img]

havent had any of their fairings but did get a skidmarx front mudguard for my YZF. the fit seemed awful and i hade to enlarge some of the fixing holes and squeeze it to fit.

otherwise it did the job.

What bike's it for?

If it's for something recent I've heard good things about Profibre.

I used the full fairing kit for my VFR400 NC24 when I smashed it. Oopsy. Anyway, the kits are fairly good, took next to no reworking to get it correctly fitted and the guy that sprayed it reckoned it was one of the better kits he'd seen. Incidentally the guy from Mal's Motorcycles up Westgate Road in Newcastle used one too and he recommended it.

N.B. The full fairing kit does not normally include seat fairing or rear panels. Best to ring and make sure you get what you think you're getting.
