I was curious if anyone has seen or bought or just thinks this upper fairing is worth the cost.

yup. factory plastics are $730. IIRC

I know the price is great, its just that I want it to look good and I was hoping someone bought a fiberglass fairing from that seller or in general and could give me feedback on the quality as opposed to plastic.

don't know about that guy in particular. i have a glass fairing similar to that. it didn't hold well in a little spill in the snow, but if cleaned up well and repairs took to it well. one word when refinishing, tho.. lotsofpaint.


being glass seems to have a "thing" for sucking paint up.. but other than that, theres nothing with glass uppers.

Good to know. I'll be picking one up in the future. I tried to upload a pic of my currently franken-upper, but it was a no go.

I bought a glass front fairing from a place in TX. The fitment was a little off and the gel coat chipped as soon as I got it on the fairing stay. Holes needed drilled out and it "flairs" and the tips where it bolts to the lowers..

It says its pre-drilled, and the guys feedback seems pretty good. I'll see how good it is when i actually buy one, if I don't like the quality I'll send it back.

How can I upload images? I have tried re-sizing the image, and uploading it from photobucket and nothing. I was gonna upload a pic of my current upper fairing.

Aha, I uploaded it. The previous owners fine stitch work on display.
