To each their own, but spending 4x the cost for OEM seems pointless on a 10 year old bike to me.
There's good and bad fairing kits. Some of the early chinese fairings weren't that good, but jeffjones' CBR looks mint.

It's not about the horspower.
It's about having an original look.
But, yes, the horspower sure is fine.

^Yeah true. I even think the aftermarket has a smoother look than the oem one on the left.
I feel great about the money I saved.Originally Posted by Low rider
If I only would have spent that extra $1500 I could have had those extra 2 stickers........

I saw jeffjones' F4i in the flesh (we met outside of K-W Honda this summer one lunch, I noticed on the NOS bottle). As a bike enthusiast, from 3 ft away, having seen a few F4i's in my day, it looked perfect to me.
Of course, if you'd sooner spend $2000 on fairings for a $5000 bike, it's your dough. There's feeling cheap, then there's being broke.
If/when I drop my Bandit, I will be on EBay or an enthusiast forum to buy used plastics, and off to an auto body guy to paint them...

Lots of aftermarket fairing kits available from the East. Old bike what does it matter.
My bikes 10 years old, I would buy oem and have no problem putting good money into it. I've owned it since new and I could eat all my meals off any part of the bike. If you want to buy "cheap" parts then buy them, it's your bike, if it looks good to you then that's all that matters. BTW 2 stickers is good for atleast 5 3/4 hp between 7500-7700rpm, much more on smaller bikes.
Can you hook a brother up with links or numbers
I'm a supporter of OEM because original stuff holds the resale value.
However, $2000 fairings on a $4000 bike won't make up for the lost value; aftermarket fairings in this case make perfect sense.
Thank you motorycycle show I found a fairing.
Do tell
Two salvage yards had booths there. None of them had the one that I needed
I snagged the last one at NCK cycle... great ppl gave me a killer deal on it.
