Anybody on here used the chinese fairing on ebay?
I could do with new rear panels for the cbr, all the lugs are broken off i have to tape them on lol. The front panels are a bit dodgy too, not the tidiest of paint jobs.
So i'm thinking of getting an unpainted set, possibly just rears now until i have more money.

So what's the bcf massive recon to them? waste of money or not?

For what you are paying there, i'd get 2nd hand official ones off ebay then get them resprayed when you have the money. That way you can guarantee the fit.

I've had a set in the past and they need a bit of work with a dremel to fit properly and even then its not a great fit.

I'll do the spraying myself, im fairly good at it.

Then maybe try a breakers directly, CBR parts are normally plentiful, honda have certainly sold enough of them.

try motocc.co.uk (not sure what's wrong with their page today,it was working yesterday)

I think they do a full set for around 400 and each panel for 100

Big piece in Performance Bikes recently about Chinese fairings. They were saying they weren't bad.

First of all MotoCC.co.uk are Chinese fairings! They are just a UK based company that import them for you, hence the extra £100+

I had a set of Chinese fairings on my SP1. £280 delivered for the whole kit. Took some slight adjustment but overall very happy with the fit and finish considering the price. Not as good as original equipment but much cheaper!

Had them on the bike for 9 months before I sold it and still looked like new!

What adjustments did you make? And is it a cover on the tank, or was is sprayed to match the fairings?

I got my set about 8 months ago, was more than happy with the fitment and finish, the only thing you may have to do is clean the exess paint out from the holes so the bolt's go in easier, all the holes and lugs were in exactly the right place and i didn't have to drill anything, just used a small round file for the exess paint. The material is just as flexible as the standard ones. On the 600rr you have to really prize the seat unit apart to make it slot over the subframe and it coped with this without a problem.

I was worried about the import charges when i got mine even though i read countless reports of not being charged for it. not sure what the success rate is but i've not heard of anyone getting stung yet. They usually mark the box as gift which seems to work.

I had the tank resprayed. Some bikes like the CBR600RR comes with plastic tank covers, which is worth going for.


As for adjustments, it was only really enlarging a few bolt holes. I was fitting the original bolts so some of the holes were too small, if I used all new bolts they wouldnt need much adjustment. Just take your time, make sure you get it right, it's better to adjust a hole than flex it to much to fit else it may stress a part.
