Gixxus Christ! Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ebay sells Chinese shit fairings for around $500... or you can piece together from used stuff which takes longer. Or you can get some from airtech but they are expensive and you have to paint and drill them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Actually Ebay sells a lot of Chinese plastic, some of it crap and some of it pretty good (for aftermarket). Prices range from $225-250 for the really cheap stuff to $500-600 for the pieces that will prolly fit pretty well. The stuff to avoid is labelled "vacuum formed" or "vacuum molded" and is the stuff selling for under $300. Look for the wording "injection molded" in the ad--that's the stuff you want. Much of the higher priced stuff is pre-drilled, but won't come with any attachment hardware. Hardware kits can also be found on Ebay and some of the stuff is even made in the US. None of the Chinese body kits are gonna be OEM quality, but this is definitely one of those things where the saying "You get what you pay for" is accurate.

BeauCrawzy Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I bought a set from nice cycle.com that fit pretty okay. Not oem quality but you can't see the issues from the back of a galloping horse. They came predrilled and required just a little file work on a couple of tabs. I'd buy another set.
