  1. Ok so here is my initial review. The attempt to clone OEM fairings I give a C-. Do they totally suck....no. Are they good...no. The outer shell seems ok. The paint is shiny with only a few blemishes on the outside. The outside pre-drilled holes were almost perfect with the exception of the shoulder type screw holes which I just drilled larger. The inside of the fairings suck. The bracket mounts are either misplaced or non-existent. The brackets for the tail light were even welded in backwards (angled 180 out). The mount for the brackets on the upper fairings and the bracket for the back seat release were not even there. That said I found ways around each. The bottom fairing does not match up at all, but who is laying on their back looking under the bike. All in all I think they would make good track/street plastics but show plastics by any means. Here are some pics. Not sure when I will get my tank painted.

  2. I run a body shop, and can get you hooked up. Hit me up if your interested in getting your ride together! We have a computerized paint matching system. I will be happy to get you hooked up. Could even paint the entire bike for a really good price. So, I would definitely hit me up!!

    I tried to PM you but can't seem to do it. Says I can only post every 120 mins. Go figure a PM is a post LOL.

  3. I ordered a new set of fairings but they came in the wrong color. I guess Magma Red and pictures mean something different in China. Anyways I have all pieces but the tank. I called a few vinyl companies but they said they can not cost effectively color match the color. Any ideas? The fairings look pretty cool though.

  4. HUH? When's the last time you looked at the CBR1000? HEAVIEST??? Also, when's the last time you priced any of the new liter bikes? All within a couple of hundred bucks...

    Kaws are cool, but they haven't figured out the handling deal as of yet. Very tough handling bikes compared to the others...

    I'm with ya on the handling deal. I stay back in the 04/05 bikes which was about where my budget fits. I won't finance a toy....toys are made to be paid for in cash.

  5. Well even though you won't be buying a bike soon I look at it like this. The honda's handle sweet usually a little heavier but are usually the highest price. GSXR's have the rep of being the fastest, but we all know the rider is what makes the bike. R-1's are are fun but I think just under the fun factor of the old Kawi. I have found the cheapest ones to be Kawi and seem to have the most pep for the buck. My vote is for an 04/05 ZX-10R. You can get an 04/05 for around 5-6k depending on MODS.
