I only bought a v panel three years ago, seems ok but started to hairline crack recently. While fitting it also had to be thinned down to fit the groves in the lower panel, not hard or long to fit, overall I was happy with it. So if you do buy its best to fit the panel to your bike with other panels fitted before painting as some light modification seems necessary but its only a quick go around with a file nothing drastic from what im told on peeps who have bought them..

Why not just repair and re paint what you have?

effort.. also on my mid panels the clips which hod into the front fairing are snapped.. which makes the whole plastics not fit together very well..

im currently riding the bike with no side or lowers.. because theyre damaged and dont fit together properly

I could be wrong here but I think DK has a 23, while Rory looks to have a 29?

I've had a few panels off Skidmarx, good value for money and strong panels in my opinion.
