I got a set and already one panel cracked during delivery and the joining tail piece could be better.
Scored out of 100 where and new genuine set would be 100.

Paint quality 65
plastic quality 45
panel fit 45
mountings 50 as some are missing
overall durability 65

Overall if you want some panels just for everyday use or to save your good panels then they are acceptable
if your looking to make your bike like new then look elsewhere as these panels are not the answer yet.

Well done Antwar... great way of scoring the fairings... very helpful indeed.

Would be nice if you have time to get some pics up too.

Thanks again.

I was considering contacting them to see if they'd produce the RWB (RC30 type) scheme, I think that would sell very well... :D
I'd probably buy one anyway and put my other panels in storage!

Most of the holes you have to chase thro/drill yerself - having said that I didnt have too much grief at all?? The prevoius owners tended to use the bike as a skateboard rather than sitting on it judging by the state of the old plastics/components..... :?

Veefer that looks really good. I love that paint scheme. Suits the bike no end. The quality doesn't look too bad either. Thanks for posting up the pictures.

Cheers!
I was quite happy with them, they arrived in a very big box, well wrapped individually (looked like Xmas in my dining room after unwrapping everything, lol) - they are not perfect, set back a few hours to fit them - but the paints and decal standard was pretty damn good! Better than the 20-year old standard ones anyways..... ;)

Its all coming together now (never a bad thing... :D ) - just waiting fr the new d/b screen to be made & fitted...

Not too shabby for a 20-year old bike.... ;)
