I bought two off ebay. First one was a POS ABS Plastic one that the body guy said was going to cost me a small fortune to smooth and paint. The second one is fiberglass and worked perfect. I came gel coated (black), so I just waxed it up and installed it. Works great. I got the one with the 6X9 speakers, hindsight being 20/20, I would go with the 4 hole 6 inch speakers now. Just because its easier to find waterproof black round versus 6X9.

You've got a nice looking bike .you dont happen to remember who made the fairing your using do you ,and im guessing that everything (mounting brackets ,windishield ,inner fairing )were all extras ?
