Considering it pushes $2000 for a stock body kit....

too lazy to read through them, thats a great deal for bodywork thats predrilled, aftermarket, track/race bodywork isnt drilled.

Yea tell me about it! I mean,race plastic can take a while to install,especially if you are all "OCD" and shit!

If you are REALLY cheap,I can get you a set of fiberglass fairings for $200 bucks,no shit! They are un-drilled,non-painted and they cut the body kit down to about 6 pieces or so from 23...

I have never had to install plastics before and dont look forward to drilling a set since I know I would mess it up my current and soon to be ex track bike had all that stuff done before i bought it. Guess we will see when I get something newer this year or next.

I bought a sharkskinz street upper and lower for my RC just after I bought it. Everything fit perfectly, predrilled, the headlights mounted in with no problem. Easiest bodywork I've done yet, but the upper and lower alone cost over $700 unpainted. But my main fairings went from 5 piece to 2 piece.

I've used Sharkskinz back in the day. Always a good product but aren't they fiberglass? Oh and how do you like the "look" with the less pieces,I thought it looked kinda "funny" with less pieces,of course if you're only painting one or two colors,it probably doesn't matter.

here's another kit I really like,

Having less pieces makes track days a little easier. It also makes disassembly and reassembly a little easier too (something that I've done a lot of in the past few months). But I like the look, especially with the D-zus fasteners holding the lower on, makes the bike look like it has a purpose. And yeah, they're fiberglass. All of my bodywork is flat black, my tank is the one form my avatar.

I'm just not sure about a tank cover, I'd rather get the bodywork and repaint the tank. Wouldn't it look funny to have the "tank" sticking out too far?

I like doing project bikes, so when if I ever make it back to the states I may have to find this stuff. A project that's done on a budget and comes out properly makes all the difference.

Yea,a lot of people think I have a "TON" of money in my bike but I don't. I got everything off Ebay or the Wera board for cheap.
