Hi, I'm Alex and was previously a member of the old forum and just stumbled across this newer one. I have a 2009 R1 which I bought last summer and and put some mods on it over the last 4-5 months. I recently took the plunge and brought a Chinese body kit for £360 delivered because I wasn't keen on the standard colours and wanted a spare for track days etc. Its virtually an exact copy of the 2010 "Rossi" LE model and I'm really happy with the fit and quality of it.

Other mod include; Akra cans, decat pipe, Flashtune & quickshifter, 1 tooth off front sprocket and 1 off rear, other cosmetic sh!te that can be seen in the pic.

Welcome in Alex great looking bike, I've spoken to a couple of people about the Chinese body kits and they said the same good quality stuff.

Thanks guys, the body kit was a gamble and quality of chinese stuff can vary quite a lot so I hear.
I got mine from here; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Motorcycl ... 416dc59d91

Fit isn't perfect, nor is the paint finish in some places but I'm very happy overall. Value for money is amazing when you consider the shipping it must cost them. Every other panel/airtube covers/undertray etc is included unpainted.
