I found a guy on ebay who was breaking their Honda CBR 400 NC23 so I jumped at the price of only 70 quid for all the fairings and double bubble screen. After learning the hard way from respraying my Derbi GPR 50 I thought I'd get a set to have sprayed up so I can still ride the bike without having to have a fairing off at a time.
All the plastic seem to be original ABS plastic except the headlight which has a weave on the back, fibreglass weave I'm guessing?

Anyway the whole set was 70 quid plus 40 pounds on top to have them delivered about 100 miles. I knew they wasn't 100 percent but still think I got a pretty damn good deal. Going to get the whole lot sprayed up professionally this time too, well here they are.

Not a bad price since it includes the tank, even allowing for the dodgy one. Would have been a better post if you had already had them painted and fitted though....

Are you thinking of rebuilding thoes broken lugs?
If so what do you plan to do?

I have seen people use plastic compunds to great success, i myself used glass fibre (for a well prepared mating surface i used a dremmel and tip of a drill bit lol).
Seems to be holding up very well but would not recomend using the fast glass again as it cures to quickly and results in having to rush quite a bit Rolling Eyes

keep us updated, i plan to re-sprey my fairings once i move out for 2 reasons really. Firstly its only going to get scratched again whilst i'm here and secondly a pretty bike is more of a target Neutral
