300+ for the fairings, 225 to ship. then you have to get the tank painted to match. thats alot in my opinion to have shit not line up perfectly-not personal exp, just what i've repeatedly repeatedly heard. id rather just get it painted instead of copying someone elses scheme. sounds like the final price would be the same....the race replicas, while not my style, do look nice, but the "custom" painted ones are crappy designs imo

I just know your potential, and expected so much more from you. Do better next time, ok??



I guess my point, that might have been missed in the [OMG she is bashing on something I love] type, I'm a less-is-more human. They are busy, and even if they weren't the reputation is poor. Why would I spend $200 on these when I can get fiberglass for $800? Even if I opted for a $500 paint job, in the long run I would come out ahead. But then, I have at least one of my bikes hit the ground a year (if not more) and quality skins are something to keep in mine FOR ME.

Though, I do loathe dealing with painters, so on that aspect maybe these would be worth it... I try to give them the benefit of the doubt that the fumes are eating their brains and they can't help it. But, I've only had odd experiences.

I personally know guys that have paid well over 2k just for a paint job on a bike,so I don't know what the fuck you are blathering on about. Shit,I bet a vinyl shop would hit you for about $200 just for the stickers. As far as sponsorship goes,I can imagine you in a Abercrombie and Fitch T-Shirt,do they sponsor you? Of course not,you use their products,don't you think that they WANT you to advertise this fact? Almost every sticker on my bike,I use their products on or in the bike so nyah,nyah,nyah! Just for that,I hope that Obama raises your taxes you elitist pig!
I love how you get so wound up when someone takes a shit on your deal. It's very comical.

Yeah I know,it's just that I put all my own time into it and it's about all that I have in my life to begin to have any pride in so I get a bit sensitive...

In my defense,my honest intention was to share what I thought was a pretty good deal with you guys and I actually didn't expect to get smeared about my personal bike.

Didn't realize anyone was slamming your particular ride. I think your bike looks great. Ass grabber.
