I ride a 07 1098s and recently i was having a little too much fun one night, "may have been 5-10mph over :blah: " and coming around a corner a car pulled out from a hidden side street so i had to take it off road to avoid going through the car. long story short now im sitting around with a shattered hip at 29 years old and some busted up plastics... Other than the fairings and some other misc parts the bike seems fine, tough machine considering what it went through! So i think i can think i can save the side panels (hoping) with some new paint which is fine, i can get good paint jobs done pretty cheap, so i need to find a nose and tail fairing not cracked or broken and just paint it all or go with aftermarket. Of course i would like to go with OEM if possible, but its looking difficult to find and expensive which is the real issue for me at the moment.
So, does have anyone have experience with these chinese aftermarket fairing sets? they look decent and are cheap, anyone run them? have some feedback on fitment, color, quality or whatever...
I figure worst case i will run them for a year while i collect the oem bits and do the paint next year, really, im not super worried about plastic as long as they fit and function and dont look like total junk. Im all about the ride (the fact that the 1098s is one of the sexiest things i have ever seen is just a little bonus)
So those are the two options im looking at, any feedback, advice, or suggestions (places to search other than here and ebay) is very welcomed and appreciated! Or if you just wanna blast me because i was dumb enough to wreck a 1098 thats fine to!!! haha :stickpoke wish i would have had the ironhead out that night... Thanks!
