General Thoughts?

[DeanoMoto]

I have a Honda cbr400rr baby blade. She is in red with original fairing. They ate very tatty though. I bought a jelly mould full fairing in Black/silver/Green but have not put it on. I will be selling the bike one day. What are all others thoughts on this? As a buyer would you rather the old original fairing or a full new jelly mould in a different colour? I couldn't get a new in red. 

I can't decide. Might just tidy up original and sell the jelly mould on again.

Alterations to fairing, paint, graphics ect devalue the bike.

 

Prospective buyers prefer original and wonder why it has needed a repaint, new fairing, different graphics ect.  Likewise "sponsors stickers" on a road bike ring alarm bells. Not only because it reflects the owners particular taste, but what are all these changes hiding? And if "race repped" is the owner a hooligan that canes the life out of his bikes?

 

All the above and I would turn the page and look for something original.

always original for me.

It's decent looking bike, leave it original.

In fact, I bought my bike with big scrapes on the fairing, they're still there.

Keep this original! these are getting rarer and rarer and people are paying top money for decent stock bikes

For sure if your still using the bike by all means put the shite ones on but if you have the original it’s got to keep the original bodywork when you sell it!
A tlc or tatty is worth way more!

some people are good with bodywork and you can’t replace the original with a Chinese copy mould and expect it to be the same!

Most people would rather have the original. Even if the copy is fitted to the bike, and original is sold with the bike.

Original fairing are getting very hard to find.
