AUCTMARTS K7 GSXR-1000 fairing review (Lots of pictures)

Amber Lamps · 01-26-2009, 10:44 PM

Auctmarts? Never heard of them...do they sell motorcycle plastics? BTW if you E Mail them,they'll send you a replacement windscreen free of charge.

I'm glad they worked out for you! I know that they can be harder to install than stock BUT at $599 for custom painted fairings,I still think that it is a great deal. I still challenge anyone to buy a stock set of plastic and have it custom painted for $600. Hey Azoom,how about it?

They look great! I'd go with OSP's suggestions - at least go black on the pegs or better yet, get some rearsets.

I wouldn't spend six hours on plastics. But, hey...

Ha ha! Yea,no offense to the guy but I'm guessing it would have taken him a fair piece of time to install stock plastic as well....

I'd totally agree on the rear sets idea,except that the stock pegs are already adjustable...of course if he doesn't have any problems with Chinese products,he can get rearsets for $150 and levers for about $60-100 in black...

I know that I shouldn't put all the blame on the plastics. I'm spoiled with Italian engineering that takes about a minute to take all the plastics off the bike. 22 seconds if it's just the sides...

You and your deals

I agree on DZUS, great product.

The Duc's have been engineered to quickly remove the plastics because, let's face it, they're DUCS! I've seen two stroke racers that spend less time tinkering than a typical Ducati racer.

OP has a Suzuki for the street. Except for oil changes, he has no need to remove and reinstall the plastics.

this the same company you got yours from?

I love the black and orange

I'll probably get the rearsets, levers, and passenger pegs powercoated black somewhere down the line. At this point for my style of riding i just cannot justify buying aftermarket rearsets or levers esp. when the stock ones have so much adjustibility.

As for painting the 2-Bro logo i'll see if i can get that done in a few weeks when i attempt my lower fairing extension mod.

Yep! I've said it before,I don't think that they are as good as stock BUT for the money,I think that it's a good deal. People are constantly discussing "quality","how long the paint will last","how long the plastic will last","crash endurance",etc... heck,at these prices,I'm already considering buying another set for my bike. Personally,I've never kept a sport bike beyond 4 years,so I really don't care if the plastic stands the "test of time". Besides,I don't think that the stock plastic is exactly "built to last",when I hit my last deer,the entire Suzuki made body,sans the tail,blew off my bike. These new stock bodies are held together with plastic snaps and very few actual bolts and screws.

well the bike I just bought has been down... it's not bad... but I would like to get some new ones and paint them Orange and black... or maybe just orange...

i've replaced a ton of body parts on bikes over the years, and factory stuff takes NO TIME compared to chinese stuff, but overall, they do look pretty good when you're finally done, and for the price, ya cant go too wrong
