Now then...now I've got my rr6 back from salvage I have the option of new Honda fairings @ £830 ish which will keep the bike looking as it left the showroom. Or...I can go the plastic fantastic panel option! this replacement rr6 option. Or...this Eurobet fairing? and it's been personalized http://www.motor777.com/ebay/fairing/product/Honda/CBR1000RR/2006-2007/59/b.jpg <<<more pics here. http://http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDgwMA==/z/81IAAOxyuR5Ta7XJ/$_57.JPG <<<more pics here. I know there is savings to be made but also the loss of loosing its original looks with plastic surgery. so help me out here fellas and maybe you can give me heads up on your opinion! and don't try and be polite(I'm from up north) say what yeah think.

Euro bet is different and I like it, if your going for the standard look go original as its worth the extra for the fit and quality and will last longer
Resale value will be effected if you go down the aftermarket route that would be my only concern if you don't have the stock fairings for the bike.. But do look sweet those Eurobet!
I've got the Rothmans set at the moment, and I was tempted to get the Eurobet ones that your looking at until I found the TT Legends set!!
Resale value is lowered now due to cat c which my opinions of this decision was upon deaf ears seemingly, The panels are not majorly damaged and would be kept when bike is sold. But this is the problem I can't friggin decide keep the bike has I bought it.
No none, I would say they probably aren't as durable as a set of originals tho. I've got my original fairings in good condition stored in my loft. I posted a picture on a thread yesterday about mirrors, I'll try and add a link to it in a moment.
now that looks v/nice and the mirrors,can you see more with the zx10's. did look at the rothmans but my rr6 has black rims also her in doors pointed out having another cigarette sponsored bike.
I went for the ZX10 mirrors as I think the angular lines of them suit the shape of the 04-07 year bikes better. Also the Honda mirrors have fixed studs fitted to them, so you need to drill the threads out of the front fairing frame work and put nuts on the back. Fitting the Kwak mirrors isn't a straight bolt them on job tho, as the hole centres are different to the originals!! Oh visibility is quite good with them.
This is the set I'm going to treat myself to: Injection Molding Fairing Kit for Honda CBR1000RR 2006-2007 CBR 1000 RR Bodywork | eBay
We found a dremel with a lil buff tool was needed to fettle a few holes on a fairing kit we got for a blackbird from neverland I think it was. They don't always line up as good as OEM plastics but after some minor adjustments and some swearing at times they go on and they do look pretty decent once all on and fitted. Not sure how good the decal'd panels are painted to allow the pattern to match up from example tank-sides-front wheel guard as we went all black.......well it was in the name blackbird it had to stay black!

That's the option I would take. Where you finding them that cheap? OK Neverland et al give you a good choice of colours, love the Matt Black and Gold, but the fit and quality of the Honda is worth it in my opinion. I have a set of MotoCC fairings on mine but got an OEM tail so I could put a pillion seat on and it is much easier to fit.
I have Chinese fairing too, but also have my OEM one stored safely away for when I sell the bike, although the older it gets the less important the OEM one becomes, unless it becomes so old it turn into a classic lol
