Default help please? fairing question...

whatsup guys i recently purchased a 2002 cbr f4i for a good deal but cosmeticly the bike is not too good. all parts of the fairings are scratched up, the front is the most noticeble probably bc its cracked and its holding up with zip ties hahaha. anyways i was just wondering where should i go about to buy a complete fairing set...was thinking about painting the fairings the pearl white color like on the new TL's... please help!

I'd recommend browsing other bike forums for parts, reason being:it is a lot cheaper in most cases. try cbrworld.net

yea, fairings aren't exactly cheap. Be prepared to shell out for OEM stuff.

You could go aftermarket and then just cut a whole out for headlights or something.

How much did you pay for the bike?

When I low sided my F4i, I paid $355 shipped (painted/decaled) just for the front fairing. OEM of course.

You get what you pay for (in terms of the fairings, not in reference to the bike purchase price).
