Does anyone know of a place you can get painted farings from the US. We tried the Hong Kong route and got burnt bad. I know there of success stories but mine was a nightmare. I thought I was going have to fly to Japan before it was over. Well I the bike fell over in the carport with my wife and now I am on the hunt AGAIN for farings. I would love to find a reasonalble priced set in the US. ANY ideas for the old dog? Ya'll youg guns help the old man out! I ride the rocket but I cant stand another Hong Kong Deal, I'll have a heart attack!!!!!!

I've heard very good things about them, but have not personally bought anything through them.
 
Are you looking at track only plastics or OEM Honda fairings?

    what exactly was wrong with the hong kong fairings
(they were from auctsmart right)
you just hear so few complaints about them and when there are problems they always seem to make things right

What went wrong? LOL !! It is easier to explain what went right. I bought some farings from this dealer on Ebay that had sold over 1000 /2000 items. I bought RED and he sent WHITE, well if you ever have delt with these guys on a return its a night mare. I had to pay for return shipping before he would send me the correct item. Then I had to pay for 1/2 of the next shipping for his orginal mistake.
Then when the correct farings arrived they were all scratched up. So I got a third set. Shipping free this time. This all took about 4 months. The third set melted at the lower section on the first ride. So to say the least if the guy would not have been across the big pond he would have took a real A*** kicking. I would not buy that junk at all.
 
So my only regret is the guy don't live here in the in the states some where so we can have a man to man or man to boy meeting and let me tell hime a few things about the haard earned US dollar and how I view it. I know I should have just stopped early on in the transaction. But I sell a lot on EBay myself ..... I mean ALOT and if one of my customers has a problem I make it right. I mean right. I do business the old fasion way where a mans word is his bond.

Can you not take them to a body shop and have them redone, or do you just want new fairings?

If you hop over to 600rr.net, there's a whole thread on the horrors of Auctmart fairings. There are success stories, but the majority have said they were very dissatisfied. Fitment (especially between the tank cover and intake tube covers.......you can even see the gap in Auctmarts photos) Not to mention they're extremely thin, and have melted on some people. Then others saying their vinyls are peeling off underneath the clear coat.

But then again, I've heard some good things from people too. But I always get weary of the bad things I hear (because that's usually the s**t I run into.)
