2 piece (actually in some cases probably 3 piece). If you need a "belly pan" these aren't for you.

I would stay away from Chinese fairings regardless if they are for track/street. Those things are paper thin. They will get destroyed in a simple 10MPH lowside. Or the paint will start to peel/crack with normal use after a year. Or they will melt from the head of an exhaust. Or the paint will start to fade after 8-10 months. Or they will not fit and cause you to punch baby seals and go diving in the amazon river with piranhas. Both of which will be better for the soul.
Take that $400-500 and get a set of used fiberglass race fairings plus paint. You'll be much happier with the result.

You are wrong there bud.....as I said I have a set and they are still after 4-6 yrs are in real good shape and have held up for the money...the new ones are even better and some, like the company I posted are now US based...yes they are not as good as OEM but they are not junk like most think

Interesting. I haven't had any chinese fairings on my bike in the past 2 or so years. I would personally like to see it in person and judge for myself. However, I was just listing my personal experience.
From what I know/have read: Even if the company is based out of the US, they are usually the middle man. However, I could be wrong in all of this and things could have certainly changed in the past few years.
This was just my personal experience having dealt with them several times from different manufactuer's. Delkevic(based out of CO), motofansclub(or something like that) and some other company from ebay.
Just about everything is made in China these days, by outsourced manufacturers...even expensive, life critical parts in some surprising places (hint: I work for a medical device manufacturer).
The purpose of the US presence, or the company that stamps a brand name on something is that they keep the manufacturer in-check. I'm convinced that the CNC aluminum brake/clutch levers that you can buy on ebay for $24 are made off the same assembly lines as the $125+ brand name ones - the manufacturer is either running them as extra to make money on the side or maybe even selling parts that didn't meet the spec tolerances for the brand-name manufacturer - "hypothetically" forcing the buyer to have to file their Chinese GSXR lever down a mm or two so it would fit inside the perch ([don't] ask me how I know)
Just be aware that the foreign manufacturer knows it can screw over a lot of people without damaging its reputation ('cause it doesn't have one and never will) on some small transaction but the big-name buyers keep them in check.
