    The list doesnt apply to motorcycle bodywork. Even ABS will grow/shrink. I've gotten probably 3 sets of chinese fairings from HK, and none of them bolt on perfect. They all looked damn good (especially for the price) but took minor massaging and in the case of my old rc-51, a little mount movement/epoxying. You get what you pay for. Factory fairing are ridiculous price.

    I understand and expect that.... the problems with this are solely on the stupidity of the manufacturer. The mold itself is within reasonable expectation. The problem is that most of the holes are drilled in the wrong places or the cuts werent made correctly. The finishing after it came out of the mold is what ruined my parts.
