No problem! Resolved confusion is educational for all of us.
Race plastic almost never fits quite like OEM, but Skidmarx and Sharkskinz come pretty close. Catalyst Composites are also good if they make anything for TT600s. There was a European company that made color integral plastic, but I don't remember their name and heard they were out of business anyway. If you want a show bike, race plastic isn't the best way to go, but for functional, durable plastic, it is great. Because it is fiberglass, it is a bit tougher and lighter than stock ABS in my experience. It may resonate and rattle a bit, if that bothers you.
A real bonus for using race plastic is where the seams are. It is a whole lot easier to remove and replace the one piece race lowers than OEM. The uppers come down farther, so you have to remove the uppers to do some things, but it typically isn't a big deal either.
