Forks need re anodising anyway bud, So i'll get them done my K-Tech or KAIS.

Ilmberger are sold out of the 2012 side panels anyway, just ordered the 2010 side panels and nosecone.

What happened with KAIS ?


There are some absolute arseholes out there (Reative Parts, CRC Fairings). I won't be using these guys again
 
Not to get on the KAIS beat up wagon but i ordered some Ohlins springs from them 2-3 days they told me when i placed the order over the phone. Took over a month to arrive with excuse after excuse.

It surprises me how some of these company's can stay in business. Most of these guys customer care is shocking.


I run my own business. If I treated my customers how some of these company's do, I'd be out of business sharpish...

1. They relieved me of £50 of hard earned to set up the suspension of my D675 and never asked me my weight never mind sat me on the bike.

2. The fitted an Ohlins steering damper on my S1000, over tightened the bolts on the bracket. Bracket snapped and jammed the steering on the bike. Luckily I was going slowly approaching a set of traffic lights. 5 mins before I was going slightly faster coming down from the Ponderosa Cafe. I feel very lucky when I think back to that incident.
 
The aerofoils will fit but you will need the longer screws and spacers.You would also need to open out the holes(to fit the spacers)on the '10 panels.

Just for the record,'12 sidepanels fit straight on earlier bikes.

*edit you might not be able to read that link, But I complained about that was exactly what happened to me, didn't ask me if I was taking pillions, going touring, doing trackdays etc. didn't weight me.
 
They are getting a bad reputation now. Apparently they used to be good.


One bad thing about the 2012 panels is they need cutting for frame sliders, the earlier ones dont.
