So, last year I had wrecked my bike (don't really want to get into that) so after riding around the rest of the summer on my broken fairings, I decided to order new ones in. I really liked the look of the ones from eBay, and the price was pretty good. I don't have the link here at work, but I think I paid around $550 CAD shipped, so no real complaints about that.
I even had someone on eBay email me and ask what I thought about them, and I will post it below (so I don't need to write it again, his msg is on the bottom):
Dear tack2814,
No worries about bothering me, how else would you find out about them. I was a little skeptical about it at first, everyone I talked to said they wouldn't fit, whatever. They fit pretty well, the tail sections we a little tight to get on, and some of the mounting tabs were in the wrong place, or too small. Easy fix to just use a small drill bit and widen the holes, which I did have to do a few times. I did notice a few painting errors, but they are something you would have to be right up close to see, such as a few minor paint bubbles. Again, nothing really noticable when you are just looking at it from a normal distance. I did have some fitment issues with the upper and lower fairings, where they meet on the sides, there is a small, maybe 1-2mm gap at some areas between the two pieces. Again, nothing really noticable when you look at it from a far. Another things that I found a little stupid was on the lower fairings where they attach to the gas tank, the holes are drilled quite large, so I used large metal washers to hold the pieces on. I haven't been able to find a black plastic washer yet, but maybe you are more inventive than I am.
I would order them again, they look fantastic, and I get lots of compliments. It helps to hide the fact that it is a 250cc (unless you know the body). Dealing with them was not bad at all, they arrived relatively quickly, about 3 weeks, and they were packaged very well from the company (I was really impressed with the packaging). Hope any of this helps,
