Looks great!

DUDE, the bike looks awesome.
At this price ?????? even if it has a run or two.
Last year my bike fell in my driveway while I was polishing it, it set me back over $700 to change couple of fairings and some labor. I wish I looked into these fairings back then, but I was devastated and was not able to think clearly, I had to have it fixed immediately, I couldn't look at it.
I am really thinking about buying these just to have an extra set to swap/change color from time to time. It would be like having two bikes.

I think it's great that you have a bike that stands out from the crowd, very unique!

Exactly what I did. I kept my original fairings that I have, so now I have two full sets of fairings, even all the little black fairing pieces came with.

Pazzos are also amazing!

I know, I was looking at the Pazzo levers. In fact on one of my business trips I almost stopped at their factory and bought them right there. However, right now I just have to save up again.

I've been looking for a place to purchace a second set of skins for my bike. That is the cheapest i've seen yet. The fit and paint look great. How long did your stuff take to go thru custums and did they charge alot for the import tax. How long did you have to wait total for delivery and who delivered, ups,fed ex or u.s. postal service.

OK, keep in mind that I had these custom made, so I had to wait like 20 - 25 days for them to actually get the fairings painted before shipping.
Once they emailed me to say that they were done and going out for shipping, it was less than a week before I had them in hand.
As for import tax, I believe they marked it as a gift. I can't remember what the box said, but what I can remember for sure was that I paid NOTHING for import tax. I was expecting to get to the post office and have to shell out $100 or so, but nothing.
All in all, so far a good experience.

instead of painting my tank, can i get a blue tank from the same model zx6r? or will that shade of blue not match with the blue in the fairing set???

KawaJAG · 07-04-2009, 02:16 PM

That looks pretty cool... where's your frame sliders?

No, the blue doesn't match. I had to take the tank to get it color matched. Pain in the ass, but it got done.

Skippy905 · 07-15-2009, 06:18 AM

Just to give an update. Just over a month of riding, and so far no problems. Everything looks great, no melting, cracking, peeling, etc.
It should be noted that I put a full roll of heat shield tape on the lower fairings to protect from melting.
I'll update again at the end of summer to let you know how it handled the season.

Yardie636 · 07-15-2009, 10:06 AM

I have been looking at this exact theme for my bike. Looks great real head turner.

EvilZX10 · 07-15-2009, 10:07 AM

good stuff , thanks for posting up... anyone know where I can get some aftermarket fairings for mine?

And yes,

So after weeks of waiting, I finally got my fairings that I purchased on ebay installed. A few bumps in the road (waiting for my tank to come back from paint), and finding I was missing a few pieces and such, but I am finally done.

I bought these from a company called Auctmarts on ebay. I did a lot of research and decided that this was the best company and they had a quality product. When it arrived it looked like everything was true.

So for those of you that will ask, everything seemed to be in great shape. Fairings looked the same as OEM, felt the same thickness, and seemed just the same, you would never know. Paint job was really good, only a few small minor problems of paint not being quite finished all the way to the edge. But you would never see it, it was in areas that you don't see. I only noticed because I waxed every piece before I installed it.

They came nicely packaged as seen here.

And here is them on my floor.

Pieces fit up almost perfect. The only trouble that I had was with the tail light (although I had problems with the original fairings too), and the front of the lower cowl. To fix the problem I just had to make the hole a little bigger.

Here it is completed, with the tank painted to match.

Full shot of the bike. Finally got a nice day to take it out.

Here you can see that there is a small gap between the light and the fairing. Just like the original fairings, I am going to have to glue it to keep it properly in place.

All in all, everything worked out great, and mounted up great. I'll update this later to let you know how it continues to hold up over time.

just wow

Just completed the tail light last night. I was waiting because I got a Dr. X Tail light (I'll post it soon), and I was working on swapping out the green LED's with blue. Then glue the whole thing back together, and attach it to the bike. There is still a small gap , but much less noticeable.
