    Check with Justin over at Superbikestore.net...... I know they had some killer deals on some sets for the last person that checked.

    Keep an eye out for some closeout deals too, check around at places. I found my skins on sale for $450. They were closeouts and sold for $1200 new. Mine have quite a bit of carbon fiber mixed in as well.

    I bought Shark Skins from Superbikestore.net (Cheetah has the address wrong) when Cozye owned it. Fit right up. I know he has others and will treat you well. Heard nothing but good things about Justin.

    Really about anything will work, but with cheap brands, normally come harder to fit. Best thing to do when you pick them up is to strip the bike and slowly take your time installing and lining them up. Measure 5 times, mark 3 times, drill once.

    that's still cheaper if you include painting...

    so now your're at, say $569[$369 kit+ ship], ya need both lowers for your XZRRSV, factory is prob at least $450[low] per side...

    HotBodies plastic et al, need work b4 install, fitting, painting, etc...

    they already have holes drilled/champhered... a couple people around here have them on bikes, they looook pretty good!! especially for the money!!

    ijs...
