Re: For those with their own garage space
I don't think it is Spam.
The Garage Journal is a fantastic long standing forum.
The same cats also run the Jockey Journal and the Jalopy Journal, both well respected online forums for Custom Motorcycles and Hot Rods respectively.

FZR400 Fairing sets on eBay.
There are a few Chinese sellers of ABS Fairings for the FZR400 on ebay. Has anyone ever dealt with any of these sellers? Positive or Negative experiences?
