    Ouch, I know parts are expensive but...

    This guys must be dreaming a bit. They are genuine parts which I can understand but $900 for just those??? I might go to Just Fairings in Hamilton and get a full set of fairings for $650
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    original plastic on a non produced bike for 900, or a moulded set of fibreglass for 650?!

    well of course the originals will cost alot more especially since they are still a popular bike and spare parts prob aint made for them anymore


    How much are modern bike panels? They pretty much write off a bike these days if they fall over off the stand so they must be a fair bit

    yeah, i can believe genuine fairings will knock a hole in your wallet around that price..
    half the reason why I rarely buy genuine for stuff like that

    That's $900 for a tail. Just fairings have the entire front for $600.

    Also that's 900 and reserve hasn't been met. Yikes

    That is quite a price but I doubt the just farings equivalent would be painted and have the original decals on them either.

    and they would be fibreglass rather than plastic, and plastic replacement fairings look far less dodgy than replacement glass ones, keeping it stock improves resale value a whole heap, plus they might overlook some of the other crash damage....
