    Guys Avoid WWR at any cost.This is your warning.You lose money then it is all your own fault.WWR has alot of headhunters looking for him.I live in Tampa and James is in hiding right now.

    I have tried for almost 12mo's to be patient and bite my tongue regarding James White & WWR Design. Enuf is enuf!!

    HERE'S MY STORY:
    I contacted James in April 2008 after seeing his custom paint work in a magazine. We spoke a few times about the details of my project bike and then he committed to custom carbon wrap & paint my bodywork in an estimated 4-6 wks.
    He demanded that I pay him half up-front before he started the work.
    In my phone conversations with James he came off as genuine, nice & amiable.
    I paypal-ed James $1700 as deposit on May 24th 2008 and sent him my GSXR-1000 bodywork to carbon wrap and paint.

    I spoke to James on the phone a few times in the beginning and then it moved to just email correspondence.
    In almost every email since July 2008, James was just about to start the paint work and that he was going to contact me tomorrow.

    July 17, 2008 he started work on a carbon front fender, i rec'd it Oct 7, 2008.

    I have not heard from James or Ryan since an email dated Sept 2, 2008.

    James responded to a friend of mine on Feb 3, 2009, in which he stated
    1-he had regained possession of his shop,
    2-he does have possession of my parts,
    3-he wanted to finish my project and
    4-that he needed my contact info.

    I then phoned his shop & left my contact info on the voice-mail, I emailed him my contact info, I even posted my contact info on this forum were he read & responded to my friend's request just days earlier.
    It has been a lil more than a month and there has been no response from James.

    I now want to file a civil complaint against James White & WWR Design.
    Any info regarding James White is greatly appreciated.

    I had to wait about three months but James did finally come through... I had ordered back in Oct, and got them around first week of January. I was getting worried that my money was gone but he eventually came through with a perfect fit and beautiful finish.

    Not sure about his problems, seemed like a nice guy the times we talked but who knows. Be aware with both SharkSkinz and WWR they do not have a place to mount the Voltage regulator or the immobilizer. Lots of people I talk to said they prefer the Sebimoto body for the RSVR over SharkSkinz but I was interested in the low price from WWR

    I had a lowside at Thunderhill T11 (all my own fault), bike flipped a few time and I can report that the quality of the WWR body is pretty good. The body stayed together, there is one crack on the upper that will be easily repaired. Other than some scratches in the paint and the one crack it is in excellent shape and could be made to look good-as-new with very little work. They did much better tan expected in the crash test.

    Now I only wish my own body/bones had come out as well... 12 weeks min. before I am back on the track so I guess I have to to make all the repairs.

    Not too familiar with it, how much were you able to save over say Sharkskinz?

    It's all about what's your price for "instant gratification" vs. saving some money
