do the panels have the mv4 code printed on the back? this is the code used by honda. it should be in a large heat printed panel on the inside? i still think you may have one of the brackets slightly bent inwards. could have been done if the bike was dropped. wish i could check em out myself.. move north, lol.

Think its a case of poor fitting panels/chance of replicas... I shall find out over the weekend when I get chance to work on the bike. if they are copies I will be getting the spare set painted up which I know fit 100%

Wish I had test fitted these before getting them painted, amateur mistake!

I know on nsr250's there is a metal clip that holds the two panels in place. Is there not something similar for the cbr ?? :?

Nope OEM... I had chinese ones before which did this but these are OEM. I do have another set of panels which dont do this but that means spraying them all up again etc!

It's just so annoying getting them sprayed then this fitment. Its either leave them like this or drill and tie them (out of sight) Getting the other set is too time consuming/effort as i've just had these done... What do you think?

Mine have little lugs stuck out and are flush fitting held by special flat clip with cutaway for lugs :whistle:
