    The chinese ones are not normally fiberglass, they are normally ABS plastic, same OEM :D

    now my race fairing is fibreglass, and its a sod to get the tail fairing on, as its very stiff indeed :(

    Sorry fella.......................it looks like fiberglass, it smells like fiberglass resin . Perhaps the really cheapo ones are/were fiberglass?. It came as a set pre painted with lacquered over stickers .

    Possibly the older ones were. These are advertised as injection moulded plastic (same as OEM).

    They tend too do the repsols with black paint instead of the metallic blue so you would notice that one but considering the whole kit costs nearly what I paid for my nose cone, you can't go wrong!

    Yeah I'm tempted to get them clear coated before I put them on. Either that or I'll get venture strips to put on the areas that get stone chips etc.

    Just a few pics of the bike now that the lower fairings have been re-sprayed gloss black and the decals removed.

    I have removed the Puig hugger and replaced it with the stock one which I have also had painted gloss black. The stock one is a bit smaller, the Puig one also had some metal on it, I think I prefer the all black look......no surprise there.

    I realised when looking at the pics how much the dirty white number plate looks cr*p, must try to get one with a black reverse side. Would love a small one but daren't here as I get stopped too often.

    Thanks Martin, that is really nice of you.

    Thanks Gilesy........I just love black.

    KevB, thanks mate, the sliders are K Factory. Spent ages trying to find some I liked for the RR6, they are great quality. I had to wait a few weeks whilst they had them made but I think it was worth it.

    I'd guess that's an arata exhaust? Seen them on a fair few bikes when I've been over in the states on holiday

    Crumpets have holes because there is additional use of yeast in the dough
