This kit from NT FAIRING is engineered for the Yamaha YZF R6 from 2003 to 2005 and the YZF R6S from 2006 to 2009, using injection-molded ABS plastic with a forged carbon fiber finish. Reports indicate the paint job receives three to five layers of clear coat, which aligns with the consistent owner feedback about excellent surface quality and color matching right out of the box.

Each piece is individually packed in polyfoam and shipped in a seven-layer carton, addressing a common pain point: damaged fairings arriving from overseas. The tabs and pre-drilled holes are molded to factory locations, and multiple owners on 2003 R6 and 2005 R6 Raven builds confirm that every screw hole aligned without modification during a roughly two-hour install.

The included bolt kit is serviceable, though some owners recommend upgrading to stainless hardware for long-term corrosion resistance. The kit does not include a rear mudguard or passenger seat cowl — those are sold separately — but the main fairing pieces, heat shield, and windscreen are all present. The forged carbon fiber aesthetic is printed, not layered, but the visual depth is strong enough that multiple owners report being stopped with questions about whether it is real carbon.

The FLPRO fairing kit is built for the Suzuki GSXR 600 and 750 K8 models from 2008 to 2010, using ABS plastic with three layers of clear coat applied over the black paint. Owners consistently describe the fit as glove-like, with one 2004 GSXR owner noting that the 08-10 kit bolted directly onto his older bike with zero modifications — a useful data point for cross-generation compatibility.

The kit includes a windscreen, heat shield, and bolts, though the hardware is basic and some owners swapped in their own fasteners for a more secure feel. The pre-drilled holes align with factory mounting points, and multiple reviews highlight that the glossy black finish matches OEM sheen closely enough to blend with remaining stock panels if not replacing the entire set.

One critical report notes that the lower fairing melted even with the included heat protection pads during freeway riding, causing the bottom section to rip off. This appears to be an isolated case — no other owner in the dataset reports similar issues — but it underscores the importance of verifying that exhaust clearance and heat shield placement are correct before full assembly. For standard street use with proper installation, the consensus is strong.

This NT FAIRING kit fits the Kawasaki ZX6R 636 from 2005 to 2006 and uses injection-molded ABS with a carbon fiber visual finish. The product images undersell the final result — multiple owners report being surprised by how much better the fairings look in person, with the carbon fiber pattern having noticeable depth under clear coat rather than appearing as a flat print.

Fitment is slightly off in some areas according to owner feedback, but all reports indicate the gaps are workable with patience and basic tools. The kit includes everything shown in the listing photos plus unpainted black inner trim pieces, a windscreen, and a heat shield. Notably, this kit does not include a bolt kit, so buyers need to supply their own fasteners — a detail that catches some off guard during installation.

The ABS plastic has good thickness and does not feel flimsy during handling. One owner described the material as solid enough to make them doubt the value at this price point, expecting cheap plastic but receiving a product that exceeded expectations. The carbon aesthetic is purely visual, not structural, but for riders who want the look without the cost of real carbon fiber, this kit delivers a convincing appearance.

XFMT’s FXR-style fairing is a fiberglass cowl designed for Harley-Davidson Softail models from 2018 onward, including Street Bob FXBB, Low Rider FXLR, and Fat Bob FXFB, plus earlier Dyna Wide Glide models with some adaptation. The fairing is shipped unpainted and requires bodywork before paint — the factory primer wipes off easily with thinner, according to owner reports, and most users apply polyester filler or additional primer before their chosen color.

The kit includes the fiberglass cowl, a plastic windshield, a headlight mask, a steel headlight mount, and the necessary hardware. The mount bracket is powder-coated steel, but multiple owners mention that the windshield holes are misaligned and the supplied screws are too small. Switching to well nuts and drilling new holes for the windshield is a common modification, and the bracket may need grub screws or other adjustments to prevent rattling at speed.

Despite the required modifications, the consensus is that this fairing represents solid value for the FXR aesthetic at a fraction of the cost of OEM or custom alternatives. The fiberglass shell itself requires very little bodywork before painting. Riders report that the fairing eliminates under-buffeting effectively, though some over-top buffeting remains — a taller aftermarket windshield is a common follow-up purchase for taller riders.

This NT FAIRING kit covers the Suzuki Hayabusa GSXR 1300 Gen2 from 2008 to 2020, providing a complete bodywork set including the front nose, both side fairings, front fender, tail section, full tank cover, rear seat cowl, and unpainted black inner pieces. The ABS plastic is injection-molded with tabs and holes built to factory settings, and the orange paint receives high marks for color depth and clear coat quality.

Fitment is rated at roughly nine out of ten by owners, with the main panels aligning well to the frame and body mounts. One detailed review noted minor front panel alignment issues but praised the paint and clear coat for not cracking or flaking after 700 miles of riding. The kit includes a windscreen and heat shielding, plus all necessary fasteners for assembly.

One cautionary report describes a fractured customer service experience: fairings that did not fit, the seller directing the buyer to China, and the refund window expiring before resolution. This appears to be the minority experience — most owners report a well-packaged kit that arrives in about a week and fits with only small adjustments. The rear alignment requires patience; the tank cover and tail section need careful positioning before final tightening.

This NT FAIRING kit fits Suzuki GSXR 600 and 750 models from 2011 through 2024, making it one of the broadest compatibility windows in the aftermarket. The kit includes the front nose, both side fairings, front fender, half tank cover, tail section, unpainted black inner pieces, a windscreen, and heat shielding — essentially everything needed for a full body refresh in gloss black.

The paint quality and plastic thickness draw strong praise from owners, with one describing the finish as comparable to OEM. The injection-molded tabs and pre-drilled holes align to factory settings, though some owners report that certain holes are slightly undersized and require a bit of drilling to open them up. The gloss black color is consistent across all pieces, and the clear coat has enough depth to blend with factory black panels if only replacing damaged sections.

A significant minority report cites alignment issues with the upper and lower belly fairings — clips that refuse to line up after extended effort and a missing half tank cover. This experience is not universal, but it is severe enough that the affected owner recommends avoiding the kit. The discrepancy between reports suggests batch variation or packaging errors rather than a systemic design flaw, but it is a risk worth noting.

ZXMOTO builds this fairing kit for the Kawasaki Ninja 650 EX650 across multiple sub-models from 2012 to 2016, including EX650A, EX650E, and EX650F variants. The ABS plastic is painted in matte black and includes a tinted windscreen and heat shield. Owner reports consistently mention that the paint and plastic quality are very good for the price tier, with the matte finish applied evenly across all pieces.

Fitment is described as excellent, with all bolt and rivet points aligning to the original fairing locations. One owner noted that a few holes needed slight drilling to open them up, but this was a minor adjustment rather than a major modification. The pre-drilled holes are built into the mold, and the tabs match factory spacing closely enough that the kit can be assembled without forcing any panels into place.

The included hardware is serviceable but not premium, and some owners recommend using thread-locking compound on critical fasteners. The matte black finish is consistent and shows less dust and fingerprints than gloss options, making it a practical choice for daily riders. The kit is designed as a tail and side fairing set without holes for aftermarket accessories, so riders with custom exhaust or tail tidy kits may need to drill their own mounting points.

Memphis Shades is a well-known American brand in the motorcycle fairing space, and the Road Warrior model is designed for Harley-Davidson Dyna models from 2006 and later. The fairing arrives painted in gloss black with a finish that owners consistently describe as high-quality and ready to ride. The shell is made from a proprietary ABS blend that Memphis Shades has refined over years of production.

Fitment is straightforward for a Dyna — the fairing uses the bike’s existing fork mounting points and requires no drilling or permanent modification. Owners praise the look as aggressive and clean, with the gloss black matching well to factory Dyna paint. The shield is a standard height that provides decent wind protection for most riders, though taller riders may want to explore aftermarket replacement shields for additional coverage.

One critical report describes receiving the fairing with no windshield and no mounting hardware — just the main black shell. This appears to be a shipping or packing error rather than a standard omission, as other reviews confirm the kit normally includes all necessary components. The same owner advises against purchase, but the majority of feedback points to a well-engineered product that bolts on without hassle. The unit is made in the USA, which adds peace of mind for buyers who prioritize domestic manufacturing and customer support.

TCMT offers this batwing-style fairing set for Harley Touring models including Street Glide FLHX, Electra Glide Ultra Classic FLHT, FLHTC, and FLHTCU from 1996 to 2013. The set includes both inner and outer fairing shells plus an 8-inch clear windshield, all made from high-quality ABS plastic with a painted gloss black finish on the outer shell and a smoke-tinted windshield.

The fitment is not plug-and-play — owners agree that the fairing requires drilling pilot holes for the headlight and that mounting hardware is not included. TCMT explicitly states this in the product description, but it still catches some buyers off guard. With the right approach, the fit is described as perfect by multiple owners, including one who rated it better than the original on a 2008 Street Glide. The ABS plastic has good rigidity and the painted finish matches factory gloss levels.

Customer service receives positive marks in the dataset — one owner contacted support about a shipping delay and received an immediate refund of the shipping charge, and the fairing still arrived and fit well. The 90-day manufacturer warranty provides a reasonable safety net. The lack of mounting hardware and installation instructions means this is not a beginner-friendly project, but for someone comfortable with basic fabrication, it delivers OEM-level results at a fraction of the cost.

ZXMOTO’s unpainted fairing kit is engineered for the Suzuki GSXR 600 and 750 K4 models from 2004 to 2005. The ABS plastic is injection-molded with a 99.99% fitment claim compared to factory fairings, and the pieces come pre-drilled for installation. The material has a subtle gloss to it straight out of the mold — it is not a matte raw plastic, which means riders who want to paint it will need to scuff the surface for proper adhesion.

Owner feedback paints a nuanced picture. Some report that the fit is excellent and the plastics look better than expected for the price, with one calling them awesome for a track-day beater. Others note that the fit is not perfect — gaps exist in certain panel junctions — but that the quality is fair for the money. One reviewer received a kit that was for the wrong bike entirely, highlighting the importance of verifying part numbers before installation.

The pre-drilled holes are a genuine time-saver for those who have drilled raw fairings before, but some alignment tweaking is still required. The kit is best suited for riders who are comfortable with minor fitting work and who either plan to paint the plastics themselves or are satisfied with the unpainted white/ABS natural finish for a track or project bike. For the price, it represents a functional entry point into aftermarket bodywork.

ZXMT produces this full fairing kit for the Honda CBR 600RR from 2005 to 2006, using ABS plastic injection molding with pre-drilled mounting points. The kit is unpainted and comes in white ABS, which has a slight gloss finish from the mold. The plastic has good heat tolerance according to the manufacturer, and the pre-drilled holes are positioned to match factory alignment.

Owner reviews indicate that the overall quality is solid for the price point, with one describing it as definitely worth it and noting that everything fit without issues. Another owner reported that while the plastic quality is good, the included screw set is not fully compatible — some fasteners did not match the required locations, requiring zip ties as substitutes in a few spots. This is a common theme across budget fairing kits and worth factoring into the total cost of installation.

The kit includes the main housing pieces but does not come with a windshield or heat shield — it is purely the body panels and fasteners. Riders will need to transfer those components from their original fairings or purchase them separately. The fitment is described as good but not perfect, with some alignment patience required. For a project bike or track build where paint and minor fitment work are already expected, this kit provides a cost-effective starting point.
