Since many people from here own a CBR (weird right ?
) and buy chinese fairings, i thought that you would find it helpful about one more review about chinese fairings.
After a research a did on the web where to buy my fairings from, i ended up
with Motofans. In our forum i read some good but also some bad stories. So
i thought of risking it. The plan was to get the Playboy fairings but with
some custom touches.
So what was included in the order:
1) Playboy fairing
2) Smoked windshield
3) Solo seat
4) Tail light.
The price is unbeatable. All that for about 500$.
1. Shipping.
After several emails i exchanged with the guys from Motofans, they replied to me that they could do those modifications i wanted. So i did order. I must admit that the shipping was pretty fast. I had the package within 2+ weeks. Everything came inside in a big box covered with protective nylon.
2. Building
So it was about time to start putting the pieces together.
i) Tail
The tail was one of the only parts that just popped in like a charm. No defects there and the fitment on that one was perfect.
ii) Front fairing + Windshield
So here the fun starts. The front fairing was placed fine on the bike. The problem is that the windshield would not fit at all. Here is what it looked like after the modification
iii) Tank
The tank was the first big trouble. I had to make the holes a bit bigger so that the screws will fit on the frame. Even with this modification a friend of mine was needed to be finally able to fit this thing. Someone had to pull while the second was trying to align the holes.
Furthermore the tank color is just a tone (almost unnoticable) tone darker. More cream white, than pearl white i would say.
iv) Side fairings
This was the part i really afraid of. I read stories about this, saw pictures and would be a matter of hit and miss. I even wrote an email to them if there is away to avoid it as i would not accept it. Well after mounting the side fairings, i got disappointed. This is what it looked like from the front side.
And this is what it looked like from the top side. Not even a chance fitting them together and to make them stay there.
And this is what happened to the paint while trying to fit the fairing to the tank. A small piece of paint just fell off.
More on the next post. :ciao:
