Default Race Bodywork

I'm setting up a 2011 S1000RR as a track bike and would like some input as to what bodywork works out best. I'm looking for good fit, flexibility and minimal hassle instalation, prefer pre-drilled for fastners.

Should I go with
Sharkskinz
Hotbodies
Armourbodies
Austin
Other?

The bike will have:
Arrow Full Ti exhaust system
Bazzaz ZFi & autotune
K&N air filter
Attack Performance rear sets

I have Sharkskinz on my CBR and Armour Bodies on my S1000RR. They are both excellent products and fit well. I think Sharkskinz is a bit more flexible. They both come with primer to make painting easier. I think Sharkskinz comes pre-dimpled (and you can call Woodcraft to confirm if Armour Bodies comes pre-drilled), but if you have a drill and step drill bit , it's really not a bid deal and kind of fun. No race body crashes well...so that's just something you are going to have to deal with...but hopefully that won't happen, or if it does, it won't be too bad. Be prepared to spend half a day the first time you try to fit it all together. Once you've done it once, it becomes really easy. Good luck.
