[Tanx] Good news! Fairings!

[Tracy Cerrato]

If that’s true it might be even better than the old skins because they don’t always want to stay together properly up front, especially after a few wacks on trees or rocks in the woods, etc.

>> I cannot say if it is legit but it sure seems legit to me. The website doesn't look fly by night and it's pretty specific. I emailed the guy and he got back to me pretty quickly.  I asked if he could have fairings painted locally and he quoted me $150 euro.  Not to go too deeply into this but the nature of the exchange didn't set off any alarm bells for me.
