    Just got a complete set of body work for my bike from China through ebay..I have to say i was a bit worried about quality ,but having inspected it i cant find anything bad to report.The ABS seems good, quite flexible (without going mental on it) ,the paint work is fabulous with a good coat of laquer over the graphics..
    Fit wise i cant say ,and it'll be a while before i get to fit it but i'm not too worried if i have to enlarge the odd hole here and there if needed..
    I also bought a few other bits from them and they put them all in the same box, saving me over €100 on postage....:)
    So far i'm well pleased and hope this post helps others to make up their mind..

    Heres a link to the seller...

    http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/kayakarctic-store/

    BTW if you do decide to buy a kit ,they offer free post, but if you are looking to buy other bits make sure you ask for free shipping before you buy anything.........
    The girl who i dealt with was Lin....;)

    Could you keep us updated please OP? I was thinking of getting a set for my own bike but have heard horror stories about the fit and about paint fading quickly.

    Interesting to see what this is like when heated up.

    How come you bought new fairings? Were your old ones beyond repair?

    Personally I'd rather sand down, plastic weld and repaint the original ones.
