Been looking for a while for this to crop up, its not in very good condition at all. I emailed the seller and he said "some of the holes that join the two fairing on the bottom are gone but its all fixable and also comes with the mounting frame". Just to be 100% sure this is for the honda ns125rk isn't it? Thanks

They're definately for the NS125R, rather than the NSR125, beyond that, I can't really say, I'm not an expert on them.

They probably are fixable (using glance-o-vision), but they look like they need a load of work, that top fairing looks like it has a load of painted over cracks (previous repair?). Will be a lot of work to get them really nice.

As for worth, you need to have a look at comparable items. If you kind find any, it ultimately comes down to "What is it worth, to you?"

Too hard to say from pics.
Lower looks to have fibre fretting in the belly-pan, which may hint its an after-market replacement, rather than OE part, which I'd have expected to be ABS plastic not GRP.
This may make them easier to salvage, though.
Either way, looks like they are all there, roughy, the tricky bit is the screen and thats present, and the rest is the right shape and if it cant be repaired could at least be used to make a mould from to make a replica.
But... NS125RK.... be nice to make one look factory again, but ecconomically?
Currently bidding at £40.... by the time you have added £20 for some a GRP patch kit, another tenner for some filler putty, £10 for high-build primer... then paint and decals to do it all justice? £100 plus whatever the bits bid to?
Would it really put that much value on the bike?
Fixed or not?

Well to be honest I wouldn't actually be doing it to make money, I would be doing to to make it look nice and how I want it to look. Not overly bothered if I lose money on it when I do come to sell it as it wont be for a while anyway. I just love the look of the original ns125rk Smile
