I found it odd that in Canada it's a Firestorm, but my CBR929 isn't referred to as a Fireblade as it is in the UK.
I like it. Price seems pretty good.

+1 I'd like to hear from someone who's tried installing them. An owner of a local shop, who also does some pretty nice custom work, had a customer want a set for his cbr1k. He said it would have just been easier to do the bodywork and custom paint and graphics on a crashed set of originals than get those to fit.

Bump
Has anyone tried these out yet? I have really considered it. Someone recently bought a set off of ebay. I am going to contact the seller to see if I can contact the buy for a quality check on it. I hate the fact that ebay has made everything confidential! haha

they have been discussed recently. I asked a similar question. Basically, they are a harder and thinner plastic and break more easily. As abusive as I am with my bike, I decided to just stay away from them.

news on ebay fairings that i linked
Hey so I messaged someone that recently purchased these fairings and this was his reply.
They needed a little bit of modification, the holes for the fairing bolts needed drilled out a little. the holes that hold the head light bolts needed drilled and tapped. The red doesn't match my bike perfectly but its not too bad. other than that I was very pleased. very nice plastics. the shipping takes the full amount of time that is listed. One week to ship and two weeks for travel. I am very happy with the purchase. good luck.

About three months ago the folks at "Performance Bike" magazine bought some of these Chinese fairings. All in all they came away impressed- especially when the cost was considered vs. new OE. The following month they bought some Chinese rearsets, levers, and exhausts. Not so impressed with the quality of those items.

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say I picked up a set last summer, and it's very brittle. I've just been on the highway and it's cracked in various places and has almost completely destroyed itself. I'm going to try out Sharkskinz next. Hopefully their quality is better. My advice is to pay the premium and buy it once.

theres some gents in the UK that have had success with them. i think its hit or miss with chinese things. but they arnt all the same fairings. specifically a guy that has one of the repsol fairing sets is very pleased. has lasted him a while IIRC. ive considered buying a set but for a little more cash i can get the front faring and rear cowl from sharkskins which you know is quality.
