Sprint RS vs Deer- Deer won, Sprint zero.

[jp227]

Hey there-

I'm new to this forum, and Triumphs in general. I've had my '04 Sprint RS for about a year now and have loved ripping around on it.

However, a late night ride down a country road (stupid, I know) led to an unfortunate encounter with a Rodent of Unusual Size, or a deer, and now my fairings are all but mangled. So:

1) Does anyone have any suggestions, other than forking $$$ to a dealer for new plastic? Are there aftermarket bits available?

2) Can I leave them off and find somewhere else to mount a pair of aftermarket front turn signals, and just call it good?

I basically don't care how it looks- in fact I almost prefer the naked look.

Also- does anyone out there have a spare oil cooler/radiator? The rodent didn't have too much respect for that, either...

Thanks for any help!

Re: the forums, what Dave said.

You're lucky that you and the bike are not that badly off. Good luck with the repair.
