You get what you pay for.
Look up Wet4U.com. His road Fairings fit as good as OEM. He gets them made in some 3rd world shit hole so there still cheap.
I love my new ZX10. It scares the shit out of me.

Hey Buddy!
I got a set off ebay myself,
They look schmick as on their own,
But they dont exactly fit;
- My headlight mounts were 10mm to the left, so the headlight didn't actually fit the hole and I had to mod the mounts,
- The side fairing bolt holes don't line up with the bolts,
- The luggage clip holes didn't fit the clamp, and had to be modified,
- The indicator slots are about 5mm too big for the indicators,
- The paint is Wafor thin (see Pythons meaning of life for how to pronounce Wafor) and even bugs take bits out

I fixed these myself, and got creative with silicone and touch up paint, and my power drill
So as hold on said, you get what you paid for, but if you are OK with a dremel, and have some imagination and time you can make them fit!!
Good Luck Buddy!

Yep, I've bought fairings for my ZXR250 from this company also.

Everyone's explanations are pretty spot on. They don't fit perfectly, but with some careful drilling and a dremel you can make them fit.

The paint looks good, but has chipped off in small places.

You get what you pay for, but in my situation (and possibly yours), there are no OEM fairings available for my bike.

Just found out these come from the same factory as the OEM so fit like a glove. If you havn't got any yet you should still have a chat to wet4u.

at least you can find kits, even if the fit is a bit ordinary.

i went from a gpx 250 (try finding fairings for them at something close to non-3rd world debt prices) to a 08 er6f. plenty of bits for 09 onwards er6f's but not earlier models!

and when you contact the 'manufacturers' (frontmen for a chinese sweatshop) they say they cant/wont do it
