I guess that it is fine to have for riding on the street and preserving the "good stuff", but the colors and patterns are WAY off. Hope it fits up.

looks goood, and all that matters is that you are happy and feel you got value for money. Fast delivery too Very Happy I have seen so many different versions of the Rothmans scheme on both road and track that I would say it is very difficult to say what is "Way Off".

It is amazing how one person can fit something totally different to another, seen this lots, not always the product.

Once you have seen the real article its pretty easy to spot a fake.

I bought a cracked up Rothmans set on ebay last year that I will use for track and street so I don't mess up my new OEM bodywork.

That's similar to Racer38's stuff, although your paint looks better in the photos. It certainly looks better than my armour plating, but I still won't ever buy from China again.

Maybe they have upped the quality control a little after customer complaints. The price (on eBay at least) has certainly gone up since Tom bought his.

very nice very nice.

seen this guy outside Kenley Autos in Purley London on a Rothmans which inspired me to get my bikes. think his was original but looked just like yours to an untrained eye although his was tattier.

let us know how you get on as i've been looking at them too...racepaint, tut, who's bothered. a usable new looking bike not wrapped in cotton wool for future investment purposes for a couple of hundred quid now that's got to be worth it.

Its not a fake mate as they are not selling it as OEM! its a cost effective alternative if you dont need OEM quality or you dont want/cant afford to pay for OEM..................

I agree, and from the pics it looks great, and from 2 or 3 metres I'm sure it will still look great, so what's the problem?

I've said my bit, and in my experience the Chinese sellers cannot be trusted. I've been stitched up twice (2 sets of bodywork and an MP3 player), and regardless if it is unfair to tar them all with the same brush, won't ever endorse dealing with them again. They are simply untrue to their word - promise everything, and delivery something very different. I have even had 2 SALES on eBay this week to Chinese buyers, who then unregistered and subsequently bombarded my e-mail address with SPAM. That has cost me 2 listing fees (that eBay won't refund me). Rolling Eyes

I'd have been happy if the seller had either NOT agreed to my requests, or charged me extra (like I offered, to make sure I got what I wanted!). To lie through his teeth and then supply garbage is hardly going to get rave reviews or endorsement is it?! The ONLY reason the bodywork is fitted to my 21 at the moment is because the bike was blown over during the gales in the spring, and the OEM bodywork was broken. I'd have been MUCH happier had it had the Chinese crap on when it was blown over cos it's worthless!! Laughing

I'll take great pleasure in destroying my stuff once I have collected and stickered up the OEM stuff to replace it! I supplied all the artwork in .AI and .EPS files, and they even managed to apply the stickers incorrectly and spell some of the sponsor names wrong!! How ridiculous is that?! You cut a sticker, you peel it off, and you apply it... it obviously doesn't work like that in China!! Confused

I did also say that Bosch Man's bodywork is different to mine, and looks better. I still wouldn't encourage anyone to buy it though. Racer38's "looks" OK at a distance, and he's pretty laid back about it, but he's also slowly buying OEM for the same reason. There's not much you can do to adjust fitment though when the panels are physically a different shape to the OEM ones!!!

lobelowe can afford to make his earlier comment... I've seen the bodywork his company produces, and it extremely good. Maybe he would consider making some NSR moulds one day. I would buy bodywork from him.

FAIR COMMENT

thanks for the warning, you been bitten and for that money i'd rather stick with me oem stuff n patch it up rather than lose the cost of a new exhaust.

i'll wait until this other guy produces some nsr molds maybe something modern and ready sprayed in something 2000 on.
