2003 RC51 Race Bodywork

Hey everyone! I need to get some new bodywork for the RC and have been going crazy trying to find some nice quality that is easy to get. I originally was going to go with The Thorsten HRC set up in carbon but it is very difficult to reach him and god forbid I lay the bike down it will take forever to get replacement pieces. Then I looked at QB carbon and have the same issue, so now Im looking at USA based companys and just cant seem to find a company that catches my eye as far as quality fit and finish. I looked at HotBodies, Shark Skinz, OPP, and Armor Bodies. What does everyone think, I would love to have carbon but 1700 from OPP is a ton compared to Thorstens HRC at 900 with everything. Any imput would be appreciated. Thanks again for all the support!!

Sharkskinz are excellent quality at a reasonable price. I've had them on two different bikes (including my RC), and been very impressed.

The AK Composites bodywork I had on my 600RR was every bit as good as Shark Skinz.
