Best: sharkskinz

Second best: armour bodies (almost as good, big chunk of cash cheaper)

Third best: all the 'alright' brands (cheetah, attack, etc etc etc)

Last: e-racings, hotbodies, other cheapos, etc



This is not my opinion... this is straight from the mouth of the best racebike painter in the northeast.
How much was your bodywork?

I could probably get it for a bit less, but the shipping to you might offset a lot of the discount

like 10% off maybe or something, not sure

We'll see. I'm gonna wait til tax return season. I might just pick up some Sharkskins. Whatever one has a better looking tail. The Attack tail looks sick. I might buy Attacks again, once I see their '08/9 model.

If you've got the cash, the sharkskinz really have no equal.

As far as the tail, I know sharkskinz and armour bodies both offer supersport and superbike tails... which one you looking at?

honestly, ive seen good and bad out of the cheaper race skins. We all know shark skinz and armor are the best but for those of us on a more tight budget, we make do with the cheaper. YbSlow runs a set of cheap plastics and they are GREAT, fit and everything. Mine, same company, not so much. I think they sent me the wrong belly pan, or not, either way, they dont fit for shit. Thats why i just run nekked. However this track day, you may be seeing some zip ties and me rolling with plastics, all depends on how I feel about it...but go with what you can afford and feel like dealing with.

If you want to go cheap, be prepared for some labor intensive work to fit them if they arent perfect, if you prefer not to do this, save and get the good shit.
