The lower fairing you can get off of www.kawasaki.com as for the nose no one makes it as of yet, trust me i looked. I have a guy who will paint it to look like carbon and it will cost 1/3 the price. my bike will be back from paint either today (MON) or tuesday. I will have pics before the weekend.

The phrase you get what you paid for applies here. I wanted to save some money and purchased the Ho* B*d*es race plastic and the stuff is just plain JUNK. Poor fit, rough edges, finish isn't what I would call just sand and paint. Yeah the stuff is light, but will all the primer filler that is needed for a decent finish, it will weigh more than stock plastic by the time it is painted. A waste of money, I plan to sell the stuff at a big loss and buy the Oppracing kit.

i wouldnt think it would be any harder than installing regular parts... as much as that $hit cost you shouldnt have to modify it

Any aftermarket body parts will be harder to install than the factory parts. You will need to check the fit of the parts and then carefully mark and drill the holes for the mounting points. The lowers will be held on by Dzus fasteners, which will take more time to get them aligned and drilled in the right locations. Same goes for the wind screen, holes must be drilled. So there is some time and skill involved!
