Cheap aftermarket fairings for many model bikes on trademe

[bert_is_evil]

Where are the Thunderace fairings dammit...

[wildcat_lgf]

Anyone seen any of these yet? They are made by a company in Hong Kong I believe...would be interested in seeing a set as I am trying to decide between these or TYGA fairings for an MC22.

There are heaps of them on ebay too. You could land some here in NZ cheaper by buying through ebay sellers. But after much searching I can’t seem to find any details about the company who makes them (which seems a little dodgy)??? Anyone with more info?

Now that the price seems to have jumped to $1300 instead of $900 either these or an unpainted TYGA set I am looking at are pretty much the same price.

Hmm... Maybe you should email trademe and ask for an explanation as to why your being shut down all the time, its making you look really dodgy

Well he won't to answer my question, yet posts comments on his auction. I could guess why....

hmmm not looking too good... guess I'll hold off on all further inquiries until someone else has brought and re-veiwed the product... its a shame, they look pretty good

Im guessing there is something weird. In the auction it states that you need to wait 3 to 4 weeks before delivery. If I buy a set, I won't pay until I am in front of him and the fairings are next to me.

This is the reason for the listings has been removed by trademe

I'm sorry but your listings for Sport bike fairing (NSR250 MC21) - 98260306 and
Sport bike fairing (R1 kit for MC22) - 98196573 do not comply with our terms and conditions and have been removed.

As you are not selling the complete bike, you need to list these items in the appropriate 'parts' category. When doing this please note that:

- You may only list goods that you have in your physical possession. Going by your auctions you have stated the goods take 2-3 weeks for delivery, this implies that they are not in your possession and as such I'm sorry but you cannot list them on the site at the moment.
- Also, you may not post your contact details on your listings (or questions and answers) nor can you reference other auction sites.
- Please also note that you may not offer extras in your listing that are not included in the price.
- And if you have several fairings for sale, you will need to list each one individually on the site.

The price of normal MC22 fairing is still $900, only the R1 style kit is $1300.

Fairings are made and paint after order, that's why it takes about 3 weeks to arrive.

Do you require payment before or after the fairings have been made?

I don't know of course, but I can sympathise with the seller if he requires payment before. Can you imagine getting a $XXX.XX part custom made for some customer, and then he decides `nah, I don't like it' and you have to cover the cost yourself? With the custom painting thing it might be difficult to sell to somebody else.

I wouldn't feel comfortable buying from someone on the internet unless he could offer a gaurentee, or could produce parts that I could inspect before buying. Waiting 3 to 4 weeks for parts would be fine if it was a reputable dealer or someone who you knew did this often. Maybe if I met and spoke face to face I may be happier or if he only took a 10% deposit and took the balance upon when he had the good and could prove it, I would then consider it

I see your viewpoint too. I was just pre-empting any `oh he must be a dodgy bastard then' that might have sprung up if he did want things that way.

Well he's here now -- and if I recall the Trademe auction, was based somewhere in Manukau. So a face-to-face meeting should be easy enough to arrange. IIRC he said something on the Trademe auction about getting in some fairings for his NSR, so you might be able to check those out at least.
