Custom vs Stock Fairings
Custom vs stock-look replacement fairings: when to match your factory design, when to go full custom graphics, and what to send us for a custom order.

Stock-look replacement kits
Choose a stock-look kit when you want your bike back to factory appearance after a crash or fade — same style as the original panels, in OEM-grade ABS, pre-drilled for factory mounting points. Order by your exact brand, model, and year (see the fitment guide); a CBR600RR kit does not fit a CBR1000RR, even from the same year.
Full custom graphics kits
Choose custom when you want replica race liveries or your own design — gloss, matte, or full custom graphics painted to order. Every kit is made to order and production can take up to 30 days before dispatch, so custom designs cost time, not just money. Send reference images or a clear description of your colors and finish at order time.
What to send for a custom order
Email [email protected] with your brand, model, year, reference images, and the product link closest to what you want. We confirm availability and any price difference before production begins — nothing enters production without your sign-off, because confirmed orders cannot be cancelled once production starts.
Same terms either way
Stock-look and custom kits share the same terms: made-to-order OEM-grade ABS with factory fitment, free standard shipping to available destinations, and destination import charges (duties, VAT, customs, brokerage) are the customer's responsibility. Unopened kits may be returned within 30 days of receipt minus the applicable restocking fee.
Custom vs Stock Fairings — FAQs
Should I buy custom or stock-look fairings?
Stock-look restores factory appearance; custom gets you race liveries or your own design. Both are made-to-order OEM-grade ABS with the same fitment and terms.
How do I order a custom design?
Use the contact page or email [email protected] with bike details and reference images; we confirm before production begins.
Does custom take longer?
Production can take up to 30 days before dispatch regardless of finish; confirm your design early so production isn't delayed.
Can I cancel a custom order?
A $100 fee applies within 24 hours; beyond 24 hours a $250 restocking fee (standard) or $350 (custom) applies, and orders cannot be cancelled once production begins.
