Its what, a twelve year old bike, worth what?
When brand new, the price of genuine OE fairings. could see these things (like many full-fared plastc-fantastics) 'written off' by an insurance co because the price of replacement was more than the value of the bike, when it still had a bit...
On a twelve year old kidde-go-kwik learner bike likely on its last legs to start with, even if you were to find some-one who supplied cheap pattern replica body-work, like the chinky fairing kits, its just as likely they too would cost as much or more than the bike's work, even before you try painting them or the whole bike, to 'match'...
I would suggest that there are probably far more worthy areas of such a machine to spend any money time or spanner effort, than a bit of plastic that does bog all for the functionality and little, to my sense of aesthetics, for the looks! So wont improve the value or performance any.
Most after so crashing them and wreckng the plastics, rip it off, add a motofiz fork-yoke head-lamp and call it 'fiytad'...
As to being ripped off, you probably were, long before the faring panels became an issue, buying likely past its best 125 learner-legal in a sports-bike play-suit! But, split milk now. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

That's not the tape used to make trucks.
For CBR125 fairings I'd look on www.125ccsportsbikes.com and there's plenty of eBay. [/quote]

You don't need fairings to be road worthy.  |
