    You can get a decent set of Chinese fairings for the same scheme. But for the 12-16 they only did that colour OEM in the USA, muggins here got the oem fairings

    That’s right pal, first thing I did when I went and looked at was pull the tail cover off an check inside the fairings for The Honda logo as whenever I see a bike that’s not standard oem colour scheme I think its had a bump and been on its side so had fairings or repainted!!!
    After googling it though too the guy wasn’t lying when he said Honda notttingham had 5 done in the same colour scheme

    Thanks for the info. Mine is a 13, so will have look about. Don't really want to go down the Chinese route.

    Haha I can see it pal everytime I look at it I need more carbon bits!!
    This rear hugger came this morning, paid £40 delivered for it so I’m chuffed with that.
    Need a chain guard now then I just want the tank side fairings, air intake ducts at the front and the single vertical upright trims in the side fairings but i may try wrapping those with some of that gloss 7d wrap and if looks crap I’ll rip it off!!

    70F013E9-D3F5-4BF8-AA12-61AA93E42199.jpeg Fitted some wavy discs, sbs fast road/track pads and thought I’d try wrapping this trim to match the other carbon bits as I had some wrap laying about! E63BB896-D673-4182-92B2-16C48D00BB44.jpeg

    0D104EEB-9C0C-4CD1-BCED-AE57C8EB0426.jpeg Carbon chain guard came today so threw it on while wheels are off for powdercoating.
    Just waiting for tank fairings and air duct covers to come in carbon now and I’ll leave it at that unless I find a twill sprocket cover!

    Rims back from powdercoated today, built up with 90 degree valves, wavey discs and sbs pads all round
    Very happy with the colour match, almost the same as the Fluro gp orange.

    just a zero map and a map Richard from dynojet sent me for my racefit.
    Will do the job until I’ve gutted the cat and got it on the rollers for a custom map!
