these are all pretty good looking sets. I'm expecting to get mine pretty soon now, i ordered them about a month ago (4 weeks next wednesday). Really looking forward to seeing some skin on the bike, it seems all i've been doing lately is stripping shit off.
How much time did u have to put in to get those aftermarkets to fit properly tig? what kind of tools am i gonna need to use? |

For mine all I really needed was some patience and in some cases, some bolts, nuts and screws. Some of the mounting points where the fairing pieces attach to each other took different hardware than the stock does. Seriously, make sure you're in a good frame of mind and take your time. Besides, depending on who you purchased from, some of these "Chinese" kits have come a long way and some even claim to be exactly the same fit as OEM. In fact, several of the differeny companies sell "perfect fit" kits whose parts are interchangeable with stock pieces. |

Honestly, I've fitted three of these kits now and they aren't always perfect but it has always been a matter of doing a little trimming or throwing in a screw or two. Half of the people who do all of the complaining probably couldn't install OEM plastic either without fucking it up. Besides, it is definitely no worse than fitting a set of race plastic! |

The problem with the "reviews" is that there are a dozen or more companies that sell aftermarket fairing of various quality (and age). Unfortunately, all of the "Chinese plastic" gets lumped together as one entity. |
