everyone I just wanted to do a video review of some fairings that I got from China got him on eBay from this guy called blessings to zero one one or two zero zero one two thousand one two thousand eleven I’m not sure exactly what I’ll put it in the description at the bottom there’s the bike that I’m going to be working on it’s 2005 CBR 600 Double R and here’s the Box haven’t opened it or anything yet so we’re just going to open that up take a look see what’s inside see if everything’s as it should be and let me just pause this and we’ll get back with you okay just that Kenny okay it’s pretty decent adhesive the plastic stuff the underpinning stuff your fender okay thanks for the cow okay here’s part number one we’ll just open it up and just see what it looks like I’m not gonna do looks like it’s really well wrapped very well protected the it’s actually got looks like serial numbers and stuff but zxm t like the date is produced that progress tank guards looks pretty nice I got the white rips all I don’t look kind of cool thick bit of red are on there how much money was it oh yeah money this was three hundred and ninety some odd dollars right at four hundred bucks you know paint quality on it looks pretty good I really can’t complain about this this one piece.
I’m looking at looks nice crap in the paint right here but it’s white I mean you’re not gonna see it you won’t even show up on video but it’s just looks like there’s a piece of dirt that got and they probably painted outside I would suspect instead under cleaner really so okay I’m gonna start putting some pieces together okay,cbr500r fairings, I’ve kind of put on the low lying fruit so to speak the things I thought were easy to put on like the rear cowl and the gas tank cover pretty much went on without too much fanfare the gas tank cover kind of had to you know fits with it a little bit to get it to go on but it went on the little black filler panel down there trying to get the push tab into the bottom part of the gas tank was a little bit troublesome but anyhow it took me probably three or four minutes to get everything lined up no no big deal really I can’t bitch about anything really the paint quality still I think is really good for for them for the money it’s not obviously it’s not factory it is I mean you know if you’re looking for restoration quality concours quality this is not it but it’s really good I mean you really got to get at it just the right way to see the defects within it also this taillight the gap is pretty consistent there are there’s a little bit a little bit wider I think over on this side here versus right here but you know hey I’m really not complaining but at any rate that’s what I’ve got so far I’ll work on the on the headlight assembly and get back with you in just a few minutes on on that so far I’m probably a little slower than most you guys would be just probably take me mm two hours or better to do what I’ve done and a lot of that has to do with prepping the the pieces in other words pulling off the old rubber plugs and that kind of stuff from the other one old ones and putting them on the new ones and the heat shield there’s a couple of heat heat pads on the gas tank that are kind of in this area here and on this area here.
so I had to pull those off and and put them back on anyhow thanks okay get the front nose front cowl and the fender on everything lined up pretty well a little tiny not even really worth mentioning gap or unevenness in between the tip of the headlight but I mean I’m serious you can’t even mention it or can’t even see it one thing I would recommend to everybody that does this is mount or not mount but assemble the entire front cowl mirrors mounting bracket everything tachometer windscreen blah blah blah put everything together as one unit including the bracket and then put the bracket onto the bike because trying to do it the other way around is damn near impossible you got to put a good amount of pressure here on these mounts for the the mirrors get kind of haast those around to get them to to line up they did didn’t have to really do any drilling out of any holes so to speak I actually I did had to clean out this one here and the one on the other side the same spot just because there’s some excess plastic during the manufacturing process or paint or something so those little bolts wouldn’t fit down through it and if you’re doing this one on a Honda CBR.
I don’t know how the other bikes are but there’s a black trim piece underneath this piece up underneath here put that on first before you mount your headlights and into the upper cowl or you’ll there’s one screw that’s just impossible to get at if you already mount your headlights ,r6 fairings,so my bike was already wrecked so I didn’t have a chance to take it apart and look at it so I bought it our t-rex state but anyhow yeah it’s gonna suck so good so far I’ll put this side panels on and let you know that goes thanks okay just some final thoughts about the Chinese eBay fairings that I put on my bike overall I can’t say enough positive things about them everything went together fairly well I mean there’s a little bit of fidgeting and fussing over some of the bolts lining up but nothing I mean nothing major and you know I didn’t have the luxury of having original plastic on the bike because it had been wreck and it was just read it up so I don’t know exactly how well that stuff would have fit coming on and off but all in all everything went together well the only real fitment issues and I don’t know I haven’t even looked at any other CBR 600 of this vintage but this piece right here you can see the gap and once again I mean out you’re really splitting hairs that and it’s pretty much the same on the other side a little bit of a gap there a little bit of a gap here on the tail light right in whoops right there kind of as tightly as it goes over there and on the front it’s really kind of hard to see but you see how the headlight is sticking out a little right there a little further and it’s kind of recessed in and that could be just that I didn’t fidget with it enough to get it to fit in properly I don’t know but that seems to be the only issues I have some bugs on the front of I have ridden it a little bit paint quality like I said earlier not I mean not concours quality but pretty darn good ,fairingskitshop.com,I mean I think that painted it outside you’ll see some crap in the paint but and if you have a CBR of this vintage when you’re redoing your front nose piece make sure that this black piece right here this chin spoiler or whatever it is is under knee I don’t know what you call it that goes on first before you put everything else in together so make sure that goes in and leave your windshield off windscreen off before you try to mount everything else up on the headlight assembly also they they give you the windshield which is great I appreciate that they also include heat shield on the plastic the heat shield they didn’t give that they will not give you enough they give you enough for one piece and I mean or once one side fairing I should say so I bought some additional heat shielding it’s like 17 bucks for two square feet it was a 12 by 24 piece off eBay and this the plastic I bought like I said was about $400 it’s from a guy on eBay blessings 2011 I think was his or is his store name or eBay name whatever it is and it actually got here a little bit quicker than then expected also he did a also included yeah I’m sorry I don’t have it on but a white cowl that goes on the back and looks pretty slick but it was everything was packaged nicely and came in quickly and on time but overall I would highly recommend buying them buy these things I don’t know why anybody want to buy the Honda stuff to be quite honest with you I mean price-wise it’s just ridiculous but that’s my final thoughts if you have any questions you can comment and I’ll do my best to respond to you in a timely manner thanks again hope everybody enjoyed it
