929 Stock fairings or Fiberglass kit from ebay. HELPP
I was just wondering if anyone has heard or has a set of fairings off ebay for 929. There is a set on there for $450 but its a complete fiberglass kit made by some company Ive never heard of. Seems like a pretty good deal but I figured it probably fits like **** or breaks reaalllll easy. Lemme know if you know anything about it. Check link below.

I have a 954, with a hot bodies race upper only. I like not having lowers easier to get to **** and remove my cage if I have to.
To all his own though. ....Yes Fiberglass sucks but for a stunter on a budget it does the job

well my bike is gonna be a streetbike still.. what i mean by that is, I will be using it on the street and not just in parking lots. ive got a cage n **** so the plastics will never take a direct blow unless i flip a stoppie or something. Will the fiberglass hold up enough or will i be un-happy.

I ride the streets w/ my single driving lamp. As for durabilty, most fiberglass is thinner then oem plastics. So to answer your question, it may not be what you expect. I've ran both sharkskinz and hotbodies...both are so close and hard to tell.
Now if you want something durable, I did do my sharkskinz upper in rhino liner. It was durable but ****n heavy. I tride to repair the fiberglass but didn't hold under the liner so that is why I'm doing the hotbodies now.

I had sharkskinz on my 929 and they held up very well.......they usually just bend where OEM stuff would crack. I liked them.......but i wouldnt go with some shady ebay company

That's that pitek company in south florida. They started doing undertails and huggers.
Good luck getting a legible response out of them if you email em, that is unless you speak spanish and write your email to them in spanish. (My responses back had a note about some translator software being used to translate my email to spanish.)
I purchased one of their undertails off ebay for my 929 cause the light was busted on my eurobikes undertail and a replacement light cost as much as this undertail.
While the fiberglass is decent ie not too flimsy or brittle, their measurements were off. The undertail was about 1/4" too narrow so it would fall out of the bottom of my tail section. It also mounted about 1/2-1" too deep into the tail section. I took it off and put my eurobikes back on.
Also, the undertail they had in the auction was not the one they sent to me. when I emailed them they asked me to send them a picture of what I received so they could compare it. I sent them the picture and they asked why I sent them a picture.
They definately don't have their stuff together down there. The paint finish was pretty good. If you get a whole kit it should probably match up together, however I have used fiberglass replacement uppers with stock lowers on friends bikes and they never match up at all. Honestly, I started collecting spares off ebay. I currently have the bodykit on my bike, one additional complete kit, and half of a third kit. Now if I would just get off my **** and paint em I would be good.
I can take a few pics of the undertail I got and show you if you like. I can also put it into one of my spare tail sections so you can get an idea of their idea of fitment.
