Have you looked on Ebay for R6 stuff? Nothing's only $50. You're saving money by using track fiberglass, trust me.

Not even slightly rashed plastics?

Supply n demand I suppose...

I was looking for my bike.. And there are many model years for this bike.. Trash, rashed, and cracked fairings were going for 150.. And thats just for the lowers..

Crazy..

You won't get any really fucked up plastics there, only ones that have a bit of rash or so. Nobody's gonna pay Ebay fees to post something that's fucked up and probably won't sell. I've had a lot of luck on bike-specific forums. I've bought/sold tons of stuff from this one R6 forum.

That's the way to go. If you find somebody parting out and they have the one piece you need, you can get a good deal. (like I did with my wheels) Otherwise, see if you can maneuver a dealer- like the one you bought the bike at- into giving you a fair price.

Yeah, I got my Anny wheels for $550 shipped from Canada. They're fucking mint condition.

You won't care about the fairing, but you WILL care about the smashed headlights that cost 250 bucks to get a replacement for. Track plastics are more fiscally sensible, hands down.

Wow that's ridiculous.

Nice dude. I've found a set of the plain black ones that came off a blue r6 that are complete with all the rotors and such for $490... I'm seriously considering them.

WTF are you waiting for? They damaged or something? If they're straight, scoop 'em up. Having a street set and a track set is tits.
