thats my '91 gsxr1100, thanks alot for the compliment- i love it also, its a real sweetywith 12000 miles on it and still has mint factory fairings but not totally stock she came with some Mik RS38 flatsides, a dyna 2000 ignition, and a V&H exhaust- really has a classic sound and loads of torque
and the rotors are "EBC" brand on the 400- the seller was very upfront about them when i bought it
it also came with the stock exhaust, i sometimes think if i could find a nice set of stock rotors i would bring this one back to a fully stock bike

They just kept stalling until it was too late for me to give them bad feedback. The tail and fender are very brittle fiberglass. The tail has only 2 mounting points that barely hold it in place. The upper doesn't fit without grinding off quite a bit and is warped. The mid fairings don't line up with the upper. The bottom, I never tried but they are probably junk too. The paint is not very good either and they clear coat over the stickers so you cant remove them. They even have inappropriate ones like YPVS which is for 2Strokes like the RZ350 and RZ500, and not the FZR.

DO NOT GET THESE CHINESE PIECES OF CRAP!!! It's a complete waste of money. You are much better off hunting individual fairings piece by piece than throwing away $500 on this.
sorry you are not happy
my upper was a tight fit, didnt think it would fit but it did
and i havent had enough time to fit the rest as i have been out of town alot
you just cant expect much for $500 painted and shipped
OEM plasticks are fairly rare and almost always need paint- uppers are extremly rare and are hammered when they are avaible
i think if you wereto gothe OEM route it would be $1200+ by the time they were repaired and repainted
i had great customer service when i contacted the seller
they even filled the front turn signal cutouts when i asked for no extra charge

but the material is infierier to OEM, i knew to expect this before i ordered

At the very least, I expected fitment. I bought the set just for the upper. If only the upper was good I would have been happy but it was all warped and it took me a few hours of grinding, refitting and more grinding just to get that on. And even then the OEM Yamaha windscreen did not sit right and was a bit warped when mounted. I would hate to see what it would have looked like if the wind screen was one of those cheap eBay Chinese P.O.S. knock offs. I will be parting the set out on eBay to try get some of my money back once I finish repairing the OEM upper.
