Since you haven't included a link it's hard to say what your looking at.
If I had to guess that set is for an RC51 and is not a direct bolt on replacement. It can be done, but is a project you may not want to take on. There are some on this forum that have done it. Search and you will find some info.

Assuming you talking about this:
For 97 05 VTR 1000F VTR1000F 1997 2005 Fairing Orange Repsol H1701 | eBay

It is Chines, may not be 100% perfect fit, but I hear from some people that they like it, I guess for the price it is a fair deal.

The only thing is, you will have to match the tank somehow, or get a full tank bra to cover it.

Watch ot for the ones from the seller "foreversafe" when I got them they looked good except I requested the fireblade paint scheme just with out the fireblade and cbr lettering yeah that didn't work but wasn't a big deal besides that they look good and bike was tore apart for mechanical work so they sat for awhile and when I went to put them on some of the bolt holes were incorrectly sized and one of the taillight mounts was already splitting off...

Finish is not always perfect. You may find slight waves in the finish. Paint
may not be perfect also. As previously mentioned, holes do not always align, or, too small and need to be drilled.

But all in all, remains a fair deal for the price.
