I havn't used them but I hear that ARD are good track fairings for RSV's
I'm thinking about investing so if anyone has used these I'd alsobe pleased to know.

I use ARD stuff on my Factory, it is good stuff, still needs a bit of work to get it to fit snugly (with a dremel) all holes were drilled, pretty strong compared to some others,:thumbup

I'm also an ARD customer for an '06 Factory.
I've had two sets so far (low-sided the first set
).
Set one was unpainted; it came undrilled, with no markers for the holes. 'Twas murder trying to get it fitted without an assistant.
Set two came ready coloured (moulded-in) and this had feint score marks where the holes were to be drilled. Everlything fitted up pefectly after this.
Regarding quality, I'd say good rather than excellent. The horizontal seam on mine is a bit uneven. The slot-head fasteners they provide with it are paint removers! Ditch tem and replace with the standard black fasteners (you might need 2 nylon washers on the outside to tension everything up correctly) or Dzus (to fit your bling preferences).
If you buy the ARD seat unit, be aware that it isn't designed to fit close to the sides of the underseat unit; there is about a 1cm gap on each side. Although it's firmly mounted, it won't take any additional stress, and is no good for holding the bike up. Also, I had to get the saw out to make the bit analogous to the tail-light fit.
COVER THE SEAT SPARS WITH SOCKS WHEN FITTING - they're the best paint remover in the business.
