Witch is better or is there no difference between fiber glass fairings and the factory style ABS plastic fairings? i need a set so i can get my bike painted i'm tired of sanding and not getting any where. so i'm going to buy a new set and have them painted asap. fiber glass ones are cheaper and the abs ones are hard to find so i need some help

I prefer fiberglass. Its more flexible and easier to repair.

fiberglass it is cheaper more flexable easy to repair wins my vote it can't be that much heavier and it doesn't bother me i'm a 240 lb. guy on this 600 i think i can transfer the weight if i need to lol.

ABS plastics are better and stronger overall, but fiberglass is cheaper. You get what you pay for
