Scated Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I bragged about going riding on President's Day and I paid. I took a rock to the absolute nose of the bike. The result is a 2" hole directly below the headlight. The inspection plate is gone too. I guess I was lucky that the light didn't take the hit. In the hands of the right person I think it could be repaired and painted good as new. I've done some glass work buy I'm not sure I can make this look right? Can one still order factory replacement parts or is my best hope ebay? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 You can still order factory parts. Or find them on eBay. Best to look here first. As far as repairs, Bob at empiregp.com in NYS will do a great job for you...shipping is a factor you need to consider with something as large as a cowl.

CBRRR Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I just bought a brand new 2002 upper from MR Cycle. It was about $405 plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW You could of taken a rock to an open helmet visor...... that would of been real bad. Still sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scated Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I thought exactly the same thing. I wonder if a shield would stand up to that kind of a blow? It looks like MR Cycle has the best price. Does it come ready to install? If I'm going to end up pulling the fairing it may be time to do the HID and mirror extenders too. If anyone has one of these they want to sell, even if I had to get it painted post up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
