I bought my second set of fairings from him off ebay, and he wouldn't combine the postage costs!
So you end up paying about £15 per item that you buy - and when you buy two side panels, a front piece, a seat unit and some seat foam it all adds up ... to about £90 in postage!
When I bought the first set I bought directly off the website and he only charged me €18 for delivery - about £13 - and the panels were about the same price.
Ricambi-Weiss seems to be the only guy that is mass-producing this stuff, and can knock it out at a decent cost. The quality when it arrives is not a perfect finish, but any paint shop worth the money will always spend a while prepping the parts to remove any casting marks and imperfections anyway - its why a decent paint job will cost quite a bit of money.
Other places I tried say they have the best kit, but you have to wait for 6 weeks while they make it and pay about three times the price. From the quality of the parts I've seen on some of the DD bikes, there really isn't much difference between the two once painted.
