My HK GRP stuff is absolute shite. You can read about it if you do a search. Some others say they have been lucky. I have no reason to disbelieve them, but I have seen ANY Chinese stuff that I would consider any good personally, regardless of how cheap it was! Maybe I'm just too fussy. I would prefer to have plain white TYGA stuff over "pretty in the pictures - crap in reality" Chinese stuff for a similar price. An OEM pattern fairing from TYGA* is about £200 + shipping (probably close to £100), the Chinese stuff is about £300~350. Yeah, you get a seat and paint, but you still need a painted tank, so in the real world you can add another £200 to that if you don't know someone in the trade.
There are always panels of various colours on Yahoo! Auctions. Sometimes mint or even brand new. Be prepared to pay for a premium for the best stuff though. What colours are you after, and which panel needs replacing?
*Pattern is pattern, regardless of where it comes from. TYGA's stuff is good, but it's never as good as Honda... it's just better than some others. I've seen Japanese fibre that fits almost perfectly, and mega expensive Silhouette stuff that was appalling. My MC16 and MC18 HRC bodywork fits really well, but in its day, I believe it was similar money to road plastics!
I firmly believe now, if you buy cheap, it will look cheap. I would look on Yahoo and also contact Jap4Performance in the UK to see what he can do TYGA stuff for, as the shipping and duty is already taken care of. At least you have a firm price to go on then. Ti Supporting Members should get a discount from Jap4Performance too.
