    Found the unboxing pics and shrunk them from 7 meg to something uploadable.
    And as theres 11 of em im leaving them as thumbs for now as the slideshow is probably the best way to view them.

    Yup, pretty good for a sub $500 kit painted custom from photos lol

    Love em or hate em the Chinese do a pretty good job with very little to go on and for the money its not really a gamble either.

    I remember 25 years ago you couldnt buy one side of a bottom fairing for an RGV for $400.

    well.......

    He was making some noise about a better exhaust system and making it go a little harder off the mark.

    new system would be nice, i'd say you'll end up fabbing up something, as a system for the 2kr will be a hard one to come across.

    i'd have a look at the dan moto slip on's and see about making it fit. they have a lovely sound from them.

    had a look today as the Bike was home this morning and the entire system is welded and weird sizes/not uniform OD so even a slip on will be a pain.

    Surely it cant cost too much for a new stainless system with a slip on?

    Cheap fairings are nice, just don't push/pull them too hard when mounting... and don't drop the bike while parking because they'll crack easily

    Ta Linkin, all mounted without tragedy and I told the boy to not drop the bike again.

    Suggested he buy another set sometime and tuck them away just in case though.

    In all honesty the work he and I put in on his learning stage and considering he had never really ridden a bike before he turned out to be an excellent rider, best part is he rides in ALL weather and talks to me about stuff he learns on the fly.

    In May he turns 19 and still isnt fussed about his car license either although im going to push the issue.

    Now I just need to get off my fat arse and go get my bike license again and join him.
