    i dropped my vfr400 saturday night in the fuel station. it has aftermarket fairings at the moment in movistar colours they weren't in the best condition anyway so im thinking of replacing them all for a total different colour scheme. (repsol colours)
    I found fairing kits on the net whitch look ok in the pictures but just wondered if anyones has any feed back on these as there obviously not genuine.??

    ive used aftermarket kits before, theyre ok now, some used to be not so good years ago, but theyve all cleaned their act up now.....

    why not see if the company will cut you one sticker from a set, this will let you know how helpful they are, and would be able to provide replacement single stickers if you dropped it after the spray job....

    Bad luck Shrek.
    Know a chap who rides a VFR400; he has just resprayed his fairings a Ducati Red! The decals were the hardest job,he reckons.
    There is a comment for Beamer too!
    Them "knobby bits" on the end of the brake and clutch lever are there to protect your body from being punctured in the unfortunate event of a spill. :
    There are levers that "fold"; probably more expensive but possibly worth looking into?

    How did you drop it?
    Was it spilt fuel on the floor?
