I think it was back in August that I ordered carbon fiber fairings. Well everything should be here by the end of next week. Once I get everything together I will post some pics.

 

[mahie023]

are they traveling around the world 2 times or what? where's your fairings been? and who'd u order from?

 

[gcofieldd]

OPP, and I don't know exactly know why it took so long. They were having problems getting it from europe and I sent the original upper back to them because of qulity reasons. I was actually calling the guy to get my money back when he said he had the stuff in.

 

[echoes]

did this ever work out for you?

 

[gcofieldd]

Well, the OPP guy emailed me the other day and said customs will release the stuff on the 24th. So I should have it a week after thanksgiving. It will take another two weeks to get everything clear coated and on the bike. I will post pictures when it is done.

Very cool. Cant wait to see it.

 

[gcofieldd]

Funny you say that, because I can't wait either. I am planning on puting the factory stickers back on and painting the windscreen, plus an inch wide strip around it yamaha blue. But if that sucks I will figure something else out.

yeah, I just saw an older r6 with carbon fiber, but it was a race bike. Looked trick.

How long have you been trying to get this sorted? If I remember correctly, this has been some time?

 

[gcofieldd]

I think since july. It was so long ago that I have forgotten. I think this was one of the most unhappy purchases I have ever made. I should have just gotten headers and painted my bike pearl white. If I do not like the way the carbon fiber and blue looks like I will paint everything pearl white and let the carbon fiber show through for the factory stickers.

 

[echoes]

Well, customs is a bitch.

Just hope they arnt kicking your package everyday they walk by it

heheh.. JK.

And yeah, Pearl (irridescence sp?) White is one of my other favorite colors!

Good luck!

[gcofieldd]

still have not got it yet. Any day now :moon

 

[ptirmal]

Did you pay 1300 for the full set? Are you planning on selling you old fairings or were they damaged or something? Don't worry man, I'm sure theyll look beautiful... I want them now!

 

[gcofieldd]

I ordered the upper and lower. I think I will keep the old fairings incase I go down. With now that it is done I would not recomend the purchase. Big waste of money.

 

[ptirmal]

Did you receive them though? how they look? Was fitment that bad?

 

[gcofieldd]

I will let you know and post pictures when everything is done. I am saying that I should have just repainted my bike and finished the performance mods. If you want a flawless finish on the carbon fiber you will have to clear coat the hell out of it. Oh and the stuff should be here today.
