Very cool/cheap fairing option
This looks like a low dollar way to get a cool looking bike. Already painted & whole bike

looks like they would need some modding, they appear to be cut for RC51, but it would be bad *** to have Repsol skins on a SH
One of my buddies has an F4I and bought some $400 body work from china and it actually looks really nice.

its pretty cool that theyre coming down in price, but its still 500 bucks shipped which isnt bad but chances are hes using a big shipper fed ex or ups and you know damn well theyre taking another 150 bucks for handling it for you.

I would really like to here from someone who has bought these. The fairings pictured are RC51 fairings and are not a direct bolt on to the VTR but I wonder if they just picture RC51 fairings and send you VTR ones. If I could make my bike look new again for even 500 bucks I would take it.

No, I dont know first hand but they have fairings for alot of bikes. I have bought stuff rediculously cheap from china & it is amazingly good. Yeah the shipping gets you a bit but still. These are euro-spec VTR which is the SP1&2 which is the RC51 here.
They dont seem to have the stock US vtr but some of this stuff looks great.

They are RC51 fairings and there are about 100 different options for color. They don't do much good unless you have an RC51 though! Be careful, there are a ton of companies on ebay that only state VTR1000...they are not talking about a superhawk!

One of the local guys here got a set for his Kwaka zx9. They didn't even come close to fitting, the lower fairing was 1.5 inches short of meeting up with the upper panel! The fairing went together on the floor, but not the bike. It was as though it was made for a smaller bike.
After confirming that he had received the 'correct parts', he negotiated a 50% refund in return for withdrawing his negative feedback.
If you are going to mod to fit you have a chance, but bolt-on - I don't think so.
