Re: Fairings from China/Hong Kong

I bought these fairings from paul (CRM) as a stop gap until i get my panels painted, paul will have to fill you in on the seller but there from one of the many chinese ebay lot. TBH im quite impressed with them, they came well packaged with plenty of protection, the design is very close to the original and so are the colours used. Finish on the backs of the panels is a little shoddy and the mounting lugs are not as the OEM panels but the actual panels are sturdy enough albeit again not upto to OEM quality, these are circa £300 panels though which i think i bloody good.








The paint looks a little thin in places but nothing to worry about, lets not forget all the stripes are painted on theres no decals apart from the honda logos, that kind of paintjob would cost quite a bit here in the UK. Even the number board is done in satin just like the OEM panels rather than the gloss black most sellers seems to go for.
As for fitting, well thats where the fairytale ends, ive only attempted the seat panels so far and there diabolical. Be under no illusion you can just buy and fit these panels, some knowledge and a lot of time will be needed in order to get these fitting right and i dare say the lugs will need chopping and re-fixing to. I'll do a more detailed write up on the fitting when ive spent more time on them.
