Has anyone used the ebay fairing kits?
I have my 07 gsxr 1000 and want to change the color scheme since it got pushed over and f'd up but has anyone used the fairing kits on ebay that are like 500 bucks?
If so are they decent quality or no?

From what i hear, most of the time the fitment is shit.
Dont hold me to it because i have never used them my self...just going by what others have said...

Ive heard its hit or miss. It takes a good amount of time to get them lined up if your a perfectionist. Maybe some dremeling cause some holes are to small or not even there.

Well im not too worried about taking the time to fit them right. I am just worried because one person told me they will melt from the head of the exhaust because they are not insulated. I just want to hear if anyone has used them and had this happen or not.

You can insulate them if you want, they sell fairing heat kits i believe...

what other sites can I get the fairings from? I would rather deal with a company straight up rather than ebay but I need to order something by tomorrow.

i bought a nose cone for a gsxr 1000 i fixed....it fit so damn bad that i just threw the shit in the trash and repaired the stock one
if your fairings are cracked they can be repaired and painted no problem...evn if they are missing chunks...its just weather or not a shop wants to repair them

Re: Has anyone used the ebay fairing kits?
just get your fairing repaired and repainted...they fit perfect and have all the heat padding in all the correct places...it takes all the guesswork out of fitting shit together
