Hello all,
I'm a new member, though I've been trolling for a while. I wrecked this morning, first wreck ever, real bummer. I found most of the replacements parts I need on Ebay, mostly upgrades that are cheaper than the stock parts, but I haven't been able to find a new front fairing. One of the hooks that hold the headlight in place broke & now it's wobbly, so I cannot wait until something does come up on Ebay. (Besides, broadcasting to the world that I got stupid doesn't do much for my self-respect).
I'll have to drive it home tonight, but it's going to be garaged until this is all fixed. I commute 60 one-way miles / day, so this needs to be fixed quick... gas is too expensive to be driving cars all over the place.
Does anyone have any suggestions concerning finding a new front fairing? I've checked ebay, no dice. It's for a 2004, black/purple. I'm certainly not against an after-market frant as long as I don't have to replace the sides or rear to match it.
Before anyone asks: I wasn't speeding. It was nearly a multi-car pile up and I was just the only one not able to stop in time. Hit the car it front of me at about 10 -20 mph. She swerved after I did but in the same direction as me. There was a wall-median that stopped me from going further to the left & I couldn't correct back to the right in time because she had to really pound on the brakes to avoid the car in fornt of her. My fault of course, I should have been a little farther back & not looking at the conditions 1/10th mile ahead rather than watchng her more closely.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
thanks much,
