Its user preference. A full set of Hayabusa fairings are overly fucking expensive and the aftermarket ABS fairings i bought were maybe not quite as flexible as the OEM but i also haven't dropped or wrecked the bike in the over six years i have had them on it so they are not broken at all. No cracks or chips, not warping or melting. I dont pretend to believe they are as good as OEM but they do the job more than satisfactory for the price.
AUCTMARTS, AMOTOPARTS, Monster Fairings. Literally no one's bike will twist and torque like he demonstrated. Fairings are cosmetic. Whether OEM or aftermarket, if you lay your bike down, they will take significant damage.
Yes you should. Fairings are cosmetic, and if you are looking for a different look or full replacement, it makes more sense to go aftermarket than OEM. There are companies that make quality fairings for a fraction of the cost of OEM. If you have the money and are willing to spend them on OEM, more power to you. The fact of the matter is, if you lay your bike down, OEM fairings with crack and damage just as much as aftermarket. In the end, you're still going to have to replace them. Literally no one's bike is going to twist and torque like your demonstration. I have used fairings from AMOTOPARTS, AUCTMARTS, and Monster Fairings. All worked very well, fit was good, and the paint and quality was great. While I'm sure this guy offers good advice, I think in this instance his advice is poor. Even more so when you consider he didn't offer a cost effective alternative to damaged OEM fairings.
In the 35 years I've been working on motorcycles, I've never seen one single aftermarket fairing that's remotely close to the quality of OEM. Not even close. The tabs break off easily if they even line up in the first place, the paint chips off easily. Under heat, the lower and side fairings warp up extremely bad making for an even worse fit.
There is no cost-effective alternative to OEM. If you want good quality parts buy OEM. Most mechanics with any kind of experience hate to see a bike with aftermarket fairings come in for an oil change. That's where the problems start, the installer might have got them on the bike but now because of the crappy quality they have worked up under the heat. When you pull the Fasteners out you aren't getting them back together. That's if you don't break tabs off when you take them apart. Never, ever have this problem with OEM
😮 Thank you ! I had no idea. Now I now
Wasn’t planning on ripping them apart, but good show 👊🏻
