Ain't nothing wrong with the e-racings man, I have seen my shit compared to other brands and it's just as good quality and fitment. I have seen people complain about the gixxer mold on eracings though. 07-08 600rr is perfect though. The hot bodies shit is the worst I have seen, I wouldn't buy hot bodies.

I bit it at 108 mph high sided, shit held up awesome, better than I could expect for that kind of wreck. Durability was much more than I can ask for, for what I spent. As far as clean, that's just who you get to paint it. Any painter worth his salt can get em clean.

The e-racings I saw looked like shit. He also lowsided that day and they held up good. I'm talking about the finish straight from the factory. Smooth as glass on the higher priced shit. if you got the money, get the better stuff. if not, get the cheaper stuff and do more prep work if you want a solid paint job.

My thoughts... and I know I'm no where near as anal as Dlit. Get cheap(er) track glass... cause it's just the track.
At that point i'd rather go out with a ratty looking bike and smoke everyone lap after lap.
Pretty paint doesn't make you go fast.

why does no one else just track nekked? Then you dont HAVE to worry about paying out cash for plastics or jacking them up...less shit to ruin if it goes down...

hoping to start working on mine this month, learn to fiber glass...if you get a cheap set, go for one thats already been fitted to the bike and drilled, NOT one that is sposed to fit and doesnt really...thinkin once i get mine, I can firm up my upper body and head positioning technique...

yeah found it trip... thanks... but they don't offer any for my bike... GAY!

and yeah I'm with you Cutty... maybe later... when/if I get a straight track bike... but for this... I'll go with what I can afford as long as it's not TOO shitty fitment...

yeah seriously, if you spend $800+ on good plastics and whatever a decent painter costs, you might as well just risk your street plastics because you can get replacements on ebay for cheaper. I got track skins for one reason, save money in the event of an accident.

Yep. I found Hot Bodies for the 650R for under $500- guess what I got. Cheetah and Catalyst are supposed to have great stuff- for $300-400 more- but I'm not running track plastics on the street. I'll sand any rough spots- so what if it takes a little time? That $300-400 is a new helmet or jacket or pants or boots, etc.
