I went ahead and ordered the Madsen Production CF hugger and front fender on Ebay. Received them the other day, installed them, looked at all aspects of them.
1) They take a long time to ship to you. Do not expect them to arrive overnight. I knew this before ordering, so it was not an issue for me to wait.
2) Their customer service was good. They emailed me back promptly and were extremely polite. They offered to refund my money if I did not wish to wait, etc. They offered to pay for the shipping, but since I knew that it would take awhile to receive it BEFORE I ordered. I did not feel like it was right to pretend that I didn't.
3) The finish is ok. For what you pay (very little) it was alright. There are definately better quality parts made elsewhere, but they cost a lot more. If your budget is tight, these parts look decent. There were no runs inthe resin, no blemishes, etc. You could tell it was still fairly cheaply made. According to one of the emails, they have them made in China.
4) Fitment was not great, but liveable. The holes were pretty close to being in the right place, and were barely large enough to get the bolt through; however, then the bolts didn't line up right. So I took a slightly larger drill bit and opend up the holes a tiny bit. Then everything fit well.
Overall, if you aren't building a showbike, these parts seem adequate. If you are building a showbike or everything has to be just perfect, go with someone like Magical.
