    Anyone here fitted after market Repsol fairings to a new Repsol?

    I have seen posts people do this - to keep original panels safe..

    But not sure if the after market fairings are a good or near enough match to the originals?

    Also if they will go straight on etc..

    There was another thread here Sam for chinese fairings. If i remember correctly the guy had to mess around with a few of them hust to get them right. They worked though and cheap too.

    I looked into after market 2015 Repsol fairings and could not find a design that was a close enough replica. Its not a bad idea though to keep your existing fairings safe

    Life's too short for crap fitting fibreglass Chinese bodywork.

    Use your OE panels and enjoy them.

    Indeed. Just throw some ventureshield on if you are bothered about stone chips, etc ...

    Some people forget it's a mass produced bike ... Not a bespoke hand built bike that costs a fortune....

    ;)
