It worries me when you look close up at the tail panel mounts at the grab rail 😁
In saying that a lot of the Chinese panel/fairing kits get good feedback
If they were from India I wouldn't even have put them on the watch list 🤣

I have just asked if they can be supplied in the black LC2 scheme but without the RD350 on them
Easier to match a black tank to than the nightmare of white (got a black tank being done at the painters)
If they say they can I'll take a punt 😅

Got a message back saying they will make a set in the black scheme and send me pics before sending them
Worth a try I think

Could be worth a go.
Clicking through the aliexpress link, that's ~£300 plus VAT, duty and handling when it gets to the UK.
If it's damaged, you are on your own.

Cheap low grade Chinese Moto plastics have been available for years.
Typically 1/10th the price of Production pieces from the moto manufactuere.
Also 1/10 the quality :-)
Being of the world infamous/stereotypical Chinese Cloner's version of 'Plastic', sloppily molded as well.
Kids buy them to patch a dropped bike .. for quick resale.
Sometimes Production racers fit them as the plastics only need be passably similar.

Polite bump - I’m looking at these too, I just asked if they’d just sell me one side panel

Update: they’ll sell a pair of side panels, £72 delivered (plus import duty and vat etc).
I’ll mull it over as I’m not in a rush and the universe has a habit of turning something up when least expected.

I bought a yzfr125 a couple of years ago for my son as a doer upper , came with boxes of spare panels , all chinese , all dog sh#t
I ended up sourcing oe panels one by one , the difference was huge. I am doung a 31k at the mo with new panels from billydafish ,injection moulded as good as oe imho

I know a couple of people who have purchased them to use on the Ducati 748 models which have flat side panels on full fairings. The feedback was that they were not a good fit overall and that the plastic would shatter if you were not careful.
So the consensus was that they were a bit cheap and cheerful with a poor fit at times.
