Re: anyone use cheap fairings of ebay?

They are WEAK. If you pick up the front fairing and wobble it, you could easily crack.

Will fall apart.

Re: anyone use cheap fairings of ebay?

Other than that one guy this week saying they are junk I've actually heard nothing but good things about them. Friend of mine just put a set on his 929 as well.

The ABS fairings we used to make held up better than stock

Re: anyone use cheap fairings of ebay?

I am using em on my bike. Did some stunts yesterday (no crash tough cause I havent recieved my cage yet) and nothing is broke yet, did some jump to 50-50, foot in the seat circles etc etc. Seems to hold up good. I will come back when I´ve crashed and let you know how it did
