It looks like they are made to order and painted likewise, just judging by the lead times. 
Sounds like they are cloning original parts.  Sounds great, since any of those panels from Honda would cost as much as they're asking for the full set. 
If anyone has to buy a panel, they could recoup their cost (and then some) selling other unneeded panels here or elsewhere.
If their quality is as good as they claim, it would be good.  I'd wonder about the paint job, since most of the Honda colours require three packs.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Be careful as I have heard that the quality is not OEM, more like what you would use for track days (ie disposable).  So the finish might be rough compared to original panels.  Some have tried them for other bikes on various fora.
