Body work opinions?

I really need to get off my but and get the bike ready for racing.

I have opted to get new skin, instead of repainting the old ones.

So, what Skins do you preffer?
What about their Price, flexiblity, how well do they crash... and how well do they take repairs?

Thanx

Sharkskinz, pricey, crash great (they don't shatter into a zillion pieces) and repair well.

Sharkskinz are great, but Armour Bodies won the bodywork comparison test over them in Roadracing World. Armour Bodies and GP composites are both great and both have better price points than Sharkskinz. I can get you some killer pricing on any of the above.

And how many Sets of tires will the Armour Bodies or the GP composites cost me?

Godfather.. $400, not sharkskinz but 1/2 the price. Fit/quality is alot better than it was last year.

For most sets you are looking at 799 for Armour, and 650 for GP...both shipped.

Hotbodies! ;D They crack when you install them, warp when you paint them, and explode on impact! What more could you ask for? ;D

BTW, To let you know just how much I don't like Hotbodies, I just broke my #1 rule of never dissing a product on a public forum.... :-[ :-X

I had Multi-tech on my F2. Fitted great, took paint good and held up to alot of abuse. Best of all they were only $425. Sadly the factory had a fire and is no longer in business. :(

Does anyone specialize in FIXING crashed bodywork? I'm finding I'm not very good at it.
