Malky Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi all, I have a 96 Thunderace with a fairing that's a bit tatty. Are the fairings off Ebay any good? I figured if I repaired the one I have I'd have to get it sprayed anyway so wondered if anyone here had bought one and how it fitted / quality...? I have come across some with poor reviews and some with good. Is it just pot luck??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Most after market type fairings are so say "made to fit" but that usually means you have to fiddle with them to get it to fit correctly whereas if you buy from the manufacturer they will fit right on no problem. So it depends if your good with a Stanley knife or not? If the advert has negative feedback about the product then expect problems, usually best to buy the kit you want and get a professional or fit it, which means of course that it would have been cheaper to buy the genuine one in the first place!

Malky Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks for your advice Slice, I guess the question is am I willing to do a bit of fiddling and save the expected huge price I would be quoted by a Yamaha dealer or break open the piggy bank (again). Maybe I ought to see if I can source one from a dealer after finding a comfy chair to repose on first eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyoldiron Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 l have one of those Chinese 'disco' kits from evil bay on my R1 for about 2 years now, fitting took a bit of fettling, i gotta say i was expecting it to be total shite, much to my surprise the finish is very good as is the paint, all decals under clear. They are holding up great , i will be getting another set for a ZX7R hybrid, and i am not easy to please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That looks mint to be fair Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That does look mint mate, I have seen these on ebay for about £400 +p&p so not a cheap option but MUCH cheaper then the "real" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malky Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Wow, that certainly looks like the dog's precious items to me. Do you have the seller's name as some I've seen on Ebay have bad feedback....??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
