The Fairing paint work on my Busa is Bloody awful . Anyone had any dealings with these Complete sets From China and Hong Kong?

Broadly speaking, Far Eastern replica fairing parts tend to be lighter than originals, the mounting lugs are often not quite in exactly the right place (making snapping off a bit of a problem) and sometimes will be finished differently, than the original, on it's edges and may not give clean join lines (either too wide or rubbing on it's neighbouring panel).

But where else can you get fairing parts cheaply?

Pays your penny, you takes your pick!

someone asked this on here a few months back and most of the feedback was positive

I heard a friend of a friend had one on their fireblade and on a hot day it melted, well it sagged and moulded itself around the engine cases

I have been led to believe that the ones sold by neverland are pretty good quality, like this. They seem to have a variety of colours and designs listed at the moment and also some unpainted individual sections.

I bought mine from Neverland. Requires a little fettling to get everything to fit together seamlessly though. It didnt require much more than reeming out a couple of hole 1 or 2mm, nothing major.

Finish was surprisingly good, and the bike looked twice as good after.

Make sure you get some heat resistant tape and coat the insides of the panels which get the heat from the engine - I knicked a roll from work and went to town. 6 months on, they still look like new.

For £300 it has certainly added value to the bike, certainly worth giving some thought to.

One minor point was the LHS said EYUP instead of EXUP Rolling Eyes
