Aftermarket Bodywork

[TTownBusa]

Has anyone had any purchasing experience with FendersCycle?

eBay Motors: SUZUKI GSXR1300 HAYABUSA Body Fairing Kit, BUSA KIT (item 280279762771 end time Oct-31-08 10:28:48 PDT)

I am going to purchase a new set of fairings sometime soon and have not decided if i should buy an aftermarket set like this or buy the few peices of mine that are cracked and then have them all painted locally.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bo

I would say to be carefull with ABS kits I seen what they will look like 2 days later. the finish is poor and for some reason the lower part of the fairing will metl to the header and it will all go to crap real quick, I was surprise to see a kit so poorly put together and then my friend mention the price. you do get wath you pay for and it's not worth the hasle. trust me it wont last more than 3 days

I've heard that the aftermarket body kits dont fit together very well.

I've heard similar things about the aftermarket body sets, either the abs is very thin or very thick. I've heard the finish/paint is good but the fit usually isn't, requires some trimming and cutting to get panels to line up. Plus no matching tank with these kits. At least it's not from China.

Buy mine, all OEM custom painted.

Looks like the copied the CSC LRG bike. I would stay away for the ABS but that is just me... I think you are more interested in the paint got, RIGHT? Just have your plastics painted. It's work the extra $

OEM is the way to go...never heard anyone claim an aftermarket bodyset surpassed OEM fit or build.
