Aftermarket fairings

[-Savage-]

What do people think of aftermarket fairings?

I need a new nose and mudguard anyway, and the bike needs professionally resprayed, so I was thinking it may work out cheaper to buy something like this.

I noticed though that there are extra circular holes in the side panels, in the hitatchi sign...any idea what for?

ive got a powerbronze daytona aftermarket fairing on my GS500, if im honest...it makes the bike look better to me, but it is ugly as fuck..

Chinese fairings get a bad name, they don't fit well, the paint is rubbish on them and the material they are made out of is no good. I'd stay away to be honest. Im going to get some Chinese race fairings for mine, but Im not bothered about hey they look. If your not bothered how they look, and don't mind doing a bit of work to get them to fit properly then you might be OK!

I know a guy who grabbed a cheap set of the Chinese fairings off ebay and they were pretty much as expected.

Quite thin, didn't match up with the originals and the paint started to peel after just a few weeks.
He is pretty handy so managed to get them together after quite a few hours working on it.

He was not impressed at all.

The guy I bought my R6 from had a set of Chinese fairings for it.

They weren't even close to fitting. It was like they'd seen a picture of an R6 and made the fairings by eye, or someone had described the bike down the phone to them and they'd had to guess the rest.

Avoid!

I know someone who had some of them Chinese fairings and he had to drill loads of new holes into them to get them to fit as well.

China are well known for their cheap immitation products but on the other hand, they also produce some very high quality stuff.

The ebay sellers are the latter and you should stay well clear

MotoCC fairings get good reviews on the Ducati websites...

Photos with them on look very promising for the price.

I wouldnt!

They are badly finished - the paint literally drops of with minimal effort, none of the holes line up and they dont fit together like the standard ones either so you need different fastenings. I have them on my kwak and would NEVER recommend them to anyone - same ebay seller too!

As an example heres my bike:

Different green to any of the kwak models, graphics dont line up, tail piece does not fit properly and leaks a little in the rain too and they are quite thin. You can buy fibreglass race fairings that would be much better
