Re: Ebay Hong Kong Fairings

Roommate just got some for his gixxer, ****'s hella flimsy (like 1/2 as thick as OEM) and the paint isn't that great, drips and runs here and there. We haven't even checked fitment, but i have the feeling i'll be using a drill and tiny drill bit as part of the install process.

$725 for flimsy HK fairings?....no thank you...could probably find some good condition OEM ones for around the same price or cheaper. Or just buy the fiberglass ones and spray paint them. If you take your time spray can jobs can be pretty ******* nice.

don't you guys have people whoe do race plastics in the US? they cost about £300 on ebay, so maybe for $600 you'll be able to rind something you want.
