I did the same deal to all of my fairing fasteners, and they don't stay shiny for that long without any protection from the elements. I may have...
Damn. My '96 is on it's 3rd R/R, just ate it's 4th battery (since I got it in 2006, who knows how many since 1996), and the entire charging system...
17k tachometer... :bounce::bounce:
I spray painted my rims white, after sandblasting and priming them. No complaints here, but it's definitely not as tough as a powdercoat.
Not even good PS work - I did stuff like that 10 years ago in Graphic Design 101.
I've had good luck with aftermarket carb pieces, so if you can save your money there...
If you think Honda is bad (it's not, I can still buy a fully-painted fairing set for my '96), you shouldn't check out Yamaha. They put their parts...

Vendor's storefront: motorcycle fairings, motorcycle parts items in Neverland-U.S Aftermarket store on eBay! Actual item I purchased: Front Brake...
Mine look better than that, and are not perfect. A warp of 0.003" is noticeable when braking, but invisible to the naked eye, or even some crappy...
^^^ 'looking' in good condition, and actually being in good condition are two completely different things...
The regulator/rectifier (R/R) regulates the electrical flow to the battery, and rectifies excess voltage (in the form of heat). Completely...
I have an aftermarket set from China, and they are awesome. $220 shipped. IIRC, CBR900RR rotors are the same - 93-96 - not 100% sure about that...
