  | YEA!!! NEW PLASTICS ON!!! YEA!!! WAHOOO!!!!! [ allan dances jig then breakdances in the middle of the carport. ] Okay guys here we go. Personally I think the kit looks great. There are some faults in it which im sure some of you will pick apart, but im okay with that. As for fitment, ya know, for a cheap kit, i was really impressed. If you have worked with fiber-glass before then you know that if aloud to sit in free form with out being held or bolted in place, fiberglass does warp alittle. That being said there was some pulling and sinching to be done on the front cowl(my fairing stay is pushed to the left slightly also) and the tail section since the fiberglass wont bend and stretch like urethane. The sides were a perfect direct fit, and all the holes were drilled easily with a 3/8 or a 3/16 drill bit. The front hugger went straight on aside from one hole not quite lined up due to my off-center driling. Now for the pics............. Front cowl put on. | |

| Re: YEA!!! NEW PLASTICS ON!!! New tail with holes drilled.Fitting the new tail. This was tricky and slightly aggrevating. But for those who have fit plastics before probably a breeze. |

| Re: YEA!!! NEW PLASTICS ON!!! I had to unbolt the rear brake resevior and slide it around the front tip of the tail inorder for the tail to sit down on the subframe. Once the tail was on I could carefully replace the resevior. |
