going for after market fairings. but which one????? help

Post by rswspeed1 »

needed a bit of workon my fairings as it was but last night i was pulling my bike over a bit of bumpy grass and the the bolt on the l/h fairing must of come off and BANG the whole left side fairings snapped off aaahhhh. so ive read the post's about the ebay/china fairings and i just wanted to know what should i go for, my first choice is the west fairings but what do u suggest before i spend 300 odd quid, any pics welcome. current scheme is castrol (which i really like) want something that goes with my white wheels.

tbh,i prefer the rvf colours which i have on my nc30(obviously i am being biased)........
i have white wheels and i reckon it looks the dogs danglys!!!!!!
i have heard that them chinese fairings are not the best but i suppose you get what you pay for.there was a thread about them so it is worth while finding it and checking the replys just to give you a better idea.
i have seen them on ebay and i believe them to be not bad for £300......

there has been a good few people that have got china fairings.
lets be honest, £300would even get someone to spray panels 2 colours, nevermind apply decals, and the cost of the fairings themself.
i would be inclined to go with an OEM style as when you come to sell it might be a little easier.

Hi rswspeed1
got my fairing for my nc23 from china (west racing) supplyed by gtbidshop it came in about 8 to 9 days well packed fitted ok paint job good all holes lined up ok have some holes to drill but i think worth money you pay for it. thats my opinion. Did a lot of reseach on this seller before i comitted my self (GOT IN TOUCH WITH AT LEAST 6 BUYERS OFF EBAY WHO HAD BOUGHT OF GTBIDSHOP) Comunications with him were first class read his feed back.
