OK...it was actually my second ride of the season. I took the bike out last weekend for about 20 mins with no issues. But today was a beautiful day, so I took the bike for a little ride around town and then to a friends place to play poker.
When I left their place and turned from their street to a main street, WHAM, bike lowsided. I was going maybe 20mph and being pretty cautious, but the roads here are still pretty dirty and dusty from the winter....oh well, serves me right.
So now I got a scratched right fairing and saddlebag infill panel. Wonderful. Minor damage to the nose fairing, and the windscreen somehow popped off and sheared the two plastic screws holding it on. Ugh. What a way to start the season.
So should I attempt to get the fairing repainted (no cracks whatsoever, just scratched up), or get a new one. I see on bikebandit.com, the Caspain Blue non ABS RH fairing is $300, compared the ABS version at $450....interesting
(mine is non-ABS anyway).
Question is, does the replacement fairing include the heat sheilding foam on the inside and the chrome trim peice?
If you look at this link http://www.bikebandit.com/showschematic/m17640sch568444 part #2 seems to have a line drawn around ALL the little miscellanous peices, meaning that the replacement fairing is all pre-assembled.
Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks!
Oh and PS....be careful of spring riding...
