I'll probably get the rearsets, levers, and passenger pegs powercoated black somewhere down the line. At this point for my style of riding i just cannot justify buying aftermarket rearsets or levers esp. when the stock ones have so much adjustibility.

As for painting the 2-Bro logo i'll see if i can get that done in a few weeks when i attempt my lower fairing extension mod.

Yep! I've said it before,I don't think that they are as good as stock BUT for the money,I think that it's a good deal. People are constantly discussing "quality","how long the paint will last","how long the plastic will last","crash endurance",etc... heck,at these prices,I'm already considering buying another set for my bike. Personally,I've never kept a sport bike beyond 4 years,so I really don't care if the plastic stands the "test of time". Besides,I don't think that the stock plastic is exactly "built to last",when I hit my last deer,the entire Suzuki made body,sans the tail,blew off my bike. These new stock bodies are held together with plastic snaps and very few actual bolts and screws.

i've replaced a ton of body parts on bikes over the years, and factory stuff takes NO TIME compared to chinese stuff, but overall, they do look pretty good when you're finally done, and for the price, ya cant go too wrong

Looks great...Where did you find this Auctmart? Link? I would like a spare set for my bike. I like to change themes now and again and it wouldn't hurt to have a spare set for track days...

I agree on DZUS, great product.

The Duc's have been engineered to quickly remove the plastics because, let's face it, they're DUCS! I've seen two stroke racers that spend less time tinkering than a typical Ducati racer.

OP has a Suzuki for the street. Except for oil changes, he has no need to remove and reinstall the plastics.

well their website has a lot of empty links... they only have fairings... but they have a link for HID and shit...

thanks though... it'd be worth it if they look half as good as yours do

Only problem is half the time you order them they send you ones that have the holes in the wrong place. Or the dzus clips are missing or it takes 6 months to get it. We will not even talk about the bolts that loosen up cause they don't use loctite.

Sorry Azoom but I have worked on a few too many ducks on the side of the road to love them. My friends 748 was nicknamed "the little yellow Harley". I bought him a key chain that was a duck in a life vest. Between that and the buell it was like a rolling bike repair clinic at the gap a few years back.

Now I'd rock a Priller or a KTM.
