    Not an rr6/7 but not to dissimilar? I got this kit from auctmarts and found it pretty much straight on.
    Had a little niggle on the corner near the light but not to bad to be fair.
    Found the quality good and delivery pretty quick

    That looks brill @raphael . Black frame helps it, and you don't have to put up with the crap disc logos on the tank that the 08-onwards models have.

    Did them on my RR7, post with details is on here somewhere. They were easy enough to do with the only 'difficult' bits being the plastic infills going down the inside of the front fairings behind the front wheel. The rear cowl is a test of faith as it is less flexible than OEM, but do it when the cowl is warm and it is fine.

    Time wise I could remove them in 5-10 minutes and refit them in about 20 minutes, quicker if the infills didn't play silly buggers. Once you have done it a couple of times it is a simple process and not one to worry about.

    One tip I would give is to buy some of the plastic retainer screws/studs/thingies as they do break quite easily.

    I can't comment on colour match as mine were to replace a previous chinese set the previous owner pit on the bike.

    If you want OEM I am planning to sell a red and black set I have later this year once the weather is better and I can get them out to check and photo them.

    Thanks - helpful info! Glad in principle it's not too much of a git of a job.

    From memory what kind of condition are your OEM fairings in? Any idea on what kind of money you'd want for them? I'd rather go for used OEM than Chinese given the opportunity...

    I bought them from someone on here about 4 years ago and since then they have sat wrapped in bubble wrap in my workshop, however from what I remember they were in a pretty good condition.
