I have two sets and the stuff is great.  Flexible, great fit, easy to work with and my painter liked it as well (minimum prep required).

Bottom line--very good stuff, very great price

Your painter liked it!? Suprising, for a set of bodywork that cheap.

Hotbodies shows its surface flaws easily. LOTS of pinholes.



How's the weight of the Godfather stuff?

Don't hesitate on picking up a set, great stuff !!!!
Very painting friendly.

I used hotbodies before then picked up a set of Godfather's and found the Godfather's bodywork to be in a class of its own in many aspects.

Supposed to be good stuff.  I've got a set on order for my SV, but they are over three weeks backordered.....so if you need some get your order in now.

WHAT!!!???

no 600RR mold???

MAN!! These KATS AREVERY COOL!!!

Actually, some of you know of my infamous Barber incident (is that a good word?)  :)

One of the Godfather Guys was the "side swiper", and so that fall 03 Daytona, I met the crew, and I think, Steve Sr., They were all really cool, personable peeps! (and I dont say that about everyone)...

But I'm gonna sure dog em if they dont got my 600RR bodywork...  and 3 weeks??? :o

Sounds like a GREAT review on the product tho!!!

Congradulations and GOD JOB to GodFather!

another cool thing about GODFATHER is these guys are racers and support a couple of local guys.William Meyers and Trey Younce that I know of so some of the profits are going right back into the racing community...on a personal level i think Scott talked Steve into building bodywork because of his personal demand for it ;D ;D ;D

pinholes...  I don't get what the big deal is.  (a) you can't see them unless you're the one buffing the bike and (b) one skid down the pavement will remove them.

I dunno...

I don't really care for pin holes.  Should be reasonable to expect a fair set of bodywork would not get sold at the regular cost with such a defect.

And I say defect as I don't think the intention is to have pinholes...right?

I bought a set last year for my GSX-R750 and they worked great. The only issue I had was the packaging (some bodywork had scuffing from not being packed or padded enough).

I would purchase again though! ;)

No Dave, the intention is certainly not to have pinholes, but I'd be willing to accept them at 1/3 the effort and 1/2 the price...

That said, I've never had a pinhole in a set of sharkskinz.  But again, price.....

the cool part about the Godfather stuff is that it's cheaper than HotBodies, yet is actually quality bodywork...easy to prep, goes together well.

I don't ask for much, but the fact that the GF set is $100 less than the HB...no damn contest.
