    cheapest and best option... repair the ones you have with abs cement for the cracks/missing pieces, then a flexible filler to smooth it out. Probably less than $50 for all supplied needed prior to paint for your full set. Lots of threads on how to do that in this section.

    If that's too much work, then you have 3 options...

    Ebay for used OEM... good luck on not broken ones.

    Maier ABS plastic aftermarket fairings... do a search in google, there are several sites that sell em. Not perfect, drill your own holes, but workable.

    Air-Tech fiberglass. These would be my last choice of all options.

      hey thanks a lot... so i would use that to fill in all the scratches ? the only crack i have is in the upper right fairing. could i just but a blank and have a body shop fill in the cracks and just paint? I'm fairly new to this. thanks so much

        This is where I'm going to say ... use the search button...

        There are lots of plastic repair threads and how toos... think there are even a couple that are stickied at the top of this board.

        Read them, they will explain, and I won't need to repeat things that have been covered in detail with pics even...
