For superior fit and colour matching I would go for the OEM Honda one. They might seem expensive but you can't beat Honda quality, fit and finish. I'm extremely happy with mine.

I went for a contrasting colour (maybe not too everyone's taste). Because of that colour match wasn't an issue, so I went for a cheapie. Cost 21 GBP, about 33 USD delivered from China.
Fitment is fine on it. Maybe cheaper to get one and spray it, unless a second hand OEM turns up.

I did the same re. contrasting color, but got a new seat cover from Luimoto ( http://www.luimoto.com/ ). Not everybody likes them, but the OEM black seat looks terrible and the OEM cowl is really a rip-off; the Luimoto cover gives it a better look while keeping the possibility of taking a passenger, not that I ever do, but just in case. You just remove the old black cover and staple on the new one (or right over it). The quality is excellent. My only mistake was getting white because it gets dirty fast.
I had an OEM cowl for my '06 and it flew off once - I had to catch it behind me when I luckily felt it there. Crappy phone pic below, but you get the idea...
OEM is the best way to go on the solo cowl. The fit and color will be perfect. Plus a lot of aftermarket solo cowl paint is crap and will fade over time
OEM on sale on eBay right now for 153.50 shipped. if you click on "see other items" you can pick other colors too for the same price. Just ordered one and I think that's the best deal you can get with a new OEM.
My OEM cowl arrived today. Can't wait to test fit when I get home. I have no doubt that it will fit perfectly. As MikeyP stated, comes with a very detailed insert on how to adjust.

Installed it this morning. Requires two washers (4 included with cowl) on the rear screws but fit perfectly after that. Color matched perfectly, but that's not saying much since it's just black.
perfect fit straight out the box. Anyone that tells you oem isn't the best fitment or color match, must be color blind or need new glasses. Bottom line is if you have the money to spend then always get the oem but if you are tight on cash, then look for alternatives.
It will fit but judging by your picture you have the same color cbr as I do. The 2012 red/Ross white right? If you do get a 2010 cowl in white I do not think it will be the same shade of white that's on your bike now. Unless you are putting a black one on then you'll be good to go.
If you are still looking for an OEM, send me a private! I have a black one, showroom condition, actually I never used it (since my bike is blue) lol!
I could make you a deal if you want it, I'm also selling it on ebay (with a higher price).
my oem cowl fits perfect and colour is 100% identical,got it off ebay for about £50 i think
before getting it i ordered a £20 chinese red one from ebay but colour match was a mile off,looked terrible,fitment was fine but not colour,if you were needing a white or black then probably youd be ok with a cheapie but for guarenteed colour match theres only one way to go,oem
OEM iterm always going to going to fit and mach the best. but is up to your taste if the aftermarket has a better looking shape on your opinion go with that one
