Nah, my dumbass didn't put the shielding on at all because I got all happy about installing it. Then I tried to put it on after the fact and didn't prep the areas very well... anyway, my fairings don't have any shield on them, so it has warped a little bit but nothing that bad. Hey, a little story for you. When I bought my 2000 Busa, I had the Yosh 4 into 1 exhaust installed. A few days later, I'm stuck in traffic on my way to work and I start smelling something strange... My plastic was on fire! That's my problem with the cry babies that say the Chinese plastic melts... so does the fucking OEM stuff if it's not shielded or if you incorrectly installed your exhaust.

I've read all the complaints about this stuff and I know that a lot of them boil down to dumb asses not installing things correctly. I had a hell of a time installing OEM body panels on my 'Busa, what a pain in the ass!!! Most of these guys and indeed most guys in general have never had ALL of their fairing off and re-installed them. I've seen the windshield of a 05 GSXR1000 bring a veteran auto mechanic almost to his knees! People get out there not knowing what they are doing. When they have problems it must be the part's fault.

My biggest problem with this stuff was that it didn't always use the same fasteners that the oem stuff does, so I had to make a trip to Lowes.

Oh hey, I am going to pm you, I'm getting another kit and I may be able to get you a better deal.

cool cool. I seriously doubt ill have major issues with it. Starting to wonder if it wouldnt be worth my time to pull the system off and get it powdercoated though. Trying to sell some things so i can have the bike payed off soon. Then i think im gonna get stupid with it. Is it wrong that im almost giddy that this happened?

#1 keep this under your hat. Chances are none of the other guys know im looking at this since they dont really come on here. #2 i have a couple of ideas that would avoid painting the tank. but if nessesary yeah i'll do it

im kinda torn between the blue checkerboards or black with white lettering and tail and red sp2 wings.

think this


on this


its just, when i saw it in my head i used the vtr1000's body. and the 954's lines are a little chunkier. im not real sure it would look right. gotta think about it more

I would get a kit but my bike uses a full metal tank (I'm sure they could make a mold to go over it) and they dont come with a rear seat cover.

I want the Repsol one but without a matching tank mold, getting my tank painted to match might not turn out well.


There's a bunch of different sellers on ebay. Ya'll think some of them are the same seller?
