pretty good for the price.
A mate has them on his gixxer, currently in my back garden having the gearbox rebuilt, fitted straight out of the box.

And Performance Bikes (I think) had a report and theirs was ok too, not as good a paint finish as originals but you'd have to line them up side by side to tell the difference.

And after all, Storms are a few years old now, and so don't need to look absolutely pristine...

Although none are shown for the Firestorm model, Alibaba (.com) have some very funky SP fairings that may interest a few of you.

It'd be interesting to compare them to OEM to see the differences (if any) to see if they are made from the same factory moulds. What do Honda do with their toolings after a bike is discontinued and obsolete - Sell them on after so many years?? or if the Chinese ones are moulded from patterns of original bodywork

I'm also tempted to try these, there cant be much difference in price to buying another fairing after my off and getting everything sprayed to buying a whole new set

just purchased on so i'll find out in about three weeks

i put in a offer and got it for $450 whats about Â£285 the only problem was choosing the colour as they let me choose what ever i wanted, and as my artistic imagination is about zero i've gon for gun metal grey , gloss black stickers i'll post pictures when it arrives .
i think my bike is going to look like a chinese inport soon

I'm curious too. I've searched quite a bit, haven't even found any pics of them on a bike.
