yea the aftermarket fiberglass ones are mass produced and don't line up cus its some 8 year old boy doing it in a sweat shop ahah. But if you buy the ones with out predrilled holes like I did. I just drilled my own and it worked great.
umm I know fiberglass definatly arn't the best. but if you look on ebay they sell a full unpainted set for bikes for 300-330 shipped. so its dam good deal for what it is. also when buying fiberglass fairing you don't want rigid stiff ones cus if you crash once with them they shatter. you want more bendable ones.
i don't know much about it but thats just what I know from personal experiance.

I wouldn't waste your money on them. I only sell sharkskinz or Hotbodies because they are worth the money and mininal fab is needed. Most line right up

Re: After Market Fairings
yeah, but what you failed to mention along with everyone else who sells them is that if you plan on painting them, be prepared to spend lots of time (if youre painting them yourself) or money (if youre having someone else do it for you). you have to put so much ******* work into prepping those, by the time youre done you might as well have purchased the hong kong ones.
