i'd say because your tank won't match, and then you'd be out a lot of money for a bike that still doesn't look good. Even if you got the tank to match you've only succeeded in turning your bike in to a giant advertisement for cigarettes

I doubt they are factory plastics repainted, most likely these Chinese made a mold of some oem fairings and replicated it thats why the fitment is off. Someone else bought some Chinese fairings w/ race replica paint on the board. You should talk to him.

if i get it i'd plan on painting the tank to match. even though it is cigarettes i think the color scheme looks cool (i don't even smoke) and would match all my gear that i already have.

these fairings are good for the price, however you will have to enlarge some of the holes to get it to line up right. I have the movistar 600rr set from the same seller. You might want to check out his website or check 600rr.net for group buys that is how I got mine 680 shipped! also the windscreen he sends probably won't fit. I will post pics soon

for 600 bucks shipped it is worth the extra hassle to drill a little.
I mean ****, a stock side fairing alone if you wrecked would be 450
why not buy this instead
they fit fine

I think they're cool but they just smack of trying too hard. Maybe if they were track plastics but on the street... well... I think ceas kinda has it right.

I would just get the black and grays ones you posted. I don't really like the race replica look.

Personally, don't ask people on here what they think about anything. If you think they look good, buy them. Opinions are like crabs, you may not want them but you may get them. That goes triple for H-T.

I dig the replica look. If it looks good on the track, why not on the street.

P.S. Nascar is just gay in general so the Monte Carlo thing is even gayer.

sick flat black plastics.

Hey from a member with expirence from that company, I would 100% stay away. As cool as they look, you'll be cursing and hitting the things 10 minutes into install. The only part of that whole lot we ordered " camel R6 " that fit, was the tank, and it was our own haha. The front fairing was cracked from light to light. One of the side fairings had a burn in the plastic, as well as it had some funky *** lettering on the side like S6, not R6?

Overall, yeah they are cool looking. Fit and finish is horrible. The pics make it look so much nicer then it really is. Most of the stuff has rough edges. The fender wouldnt even fit on the Yahama we had intended, it was so low that it would scrape on the tire and you couldnt even budge the tire. As well as the holes and fitment were so off on the front fiaring, our windscrean wouldnt work, and when we got it to fit there was a gap you could fit your hand in. I will get some pictures for you, but I would say stay away. Theres too much headache with that company. Cheap route yes, but you'll want to die after you get it and try to fit the damn things.
