I got mine off ebay for like 500 shipped. (the bike in my sig). The store name on there is auctmarts1. They make F4 fairings, I believe they have stock paint schemes and race replicas.

The fitment when people started purchasing these used to be pretty bad. From what I understand there were revisions to the molds sometime late 07. These arent factory so yes more than likely you will have to use a dremel to make the holes a bit bigger (nothing major, like a milimeter or two). I think I had to make like 3 or 4 holes bigger and they werent visible peices, one was under the seat and the others were mounting points that were covered. But for the price I can't really complain (from 10ft away the paint looks perfect).

After initially putting it together the only things that didn't line up were the covers where they connect to the tank.



Auctmarts has been around forever and is well known, also motofansclub is another good one on ebay. They are a vendor on 600rr.net and plenty of people that purchased them have reviews there if you want to read up on the different companies.

eBay Store – motofansclub: Search results for.
