HA, i was wondering if this would pop up... They still havent gotten on to the bike...
I did kinda put them up to check fitament, and they looked GOOD.. however they still havent actually made it on, or been bolted up..
The turbo build is holding these up.... I still need to figure out the best way to drill a hole into them without destroying them, for the boost gauge...
I dont think i even took any pictures when i tossed them up to check fitament, because i wasnt really even thinking about it..
Sorry!
lol, i have a giant pile of parts still to put on the bike, its going to look NOTHING like it did before i started this project HEHEHEHE

Wow geez,maybe by the time you fix it up and post pictures.The seller wont be selling anymore of these
Whaaaat. whats that.... how about a little more grief!
after all, im the one who can't ride his bike!
Half ass review incoming!! I put them up and on, but didnt want to hang all the plastics etc.... so take it for what it is... half assed... 
Note boost gauge!!!
(its kinda hidden under my lever)
Note the turbo charge pipe
OK, so they get a 9/10 for looks, they look pretty damn slick actually..
7/10 durability... i left them in the protective covering up until i took those pictures, but even then they go a scratch in them just like that... However, this is my first piece of "chromed plastic" so this may just be the nature of the beast??? I also didnt try to remove the scratch, so it may end up being a non issue...
6/10 fitament I didnt expect much, and they delivered about that much... there are gaps here and there, and clips that just dont quite match... from what i have heard, they are similar to how well the HK skins fit... on the left upper near the windshield, one side fit great, and the other side fit... much less than great... there is a 1/8th inch gap there...
7.5/10 install ease and removal... it will be a bit of a pain to work around them but NOT as bad as you might initially have thought... i wont know for sure until i really hang on the side plastics though to see how it will all go together... since the turbo install is only 95% finished, i didnt want to put them together, just to take it all apart...
Bottomline.... Definite improvement over stock plastics... worth the money??
i would say yes for most, unless your wanting absolute show quality work, then run away and dont look back... These will never be as good as a professionally done piece from an OEM base plastic, but for most i think they would end up happy after a little finagling to get it just right...

hk skins = hong kong plastics... the aftermarket plastics that are seen frequently for ~400 or 500.00 (i think thats the price)
have to admitt, they look good, just fit poorly from what i have heard...
just typing fast and tried to make it short hand
Supposed to be black chrome, they end up looking like a dark grey chrome instead .. However, that works well for my bike ...
Ok thats sucks to the core for me as my bike is in black
