Hey all, feel like the biggest dumbass right now :embarass: , I dropped the bike while working on it and busted the front fairing TRIM UPPER 46632309815, now I'm in real need of a new one, if anyone has one for sale I would be grateful. Hit me back if you do.

You sure you can't have a good local body shop repair it?

I suppose I could ask them, it is fiberglass is right? I wondered that :hmm: would save a lot of hassle.

No, it's not fiberglass, it's some weird German stuff (I forget the name of it.) However, it can be repaired with a fiberglass repair kit.
The fairing for my K100RS4V when I bought it had one of the "ears" (uprights on each side of the windsreen) busted and hanging. What I did was use a fiberglass repair kit to repair it from behind with a couple of layers of fiberglass and then I let the painter dude fill and sand it. Came out great. If you haven't done it before then it's much easier than you think.
And here's the belly pan I did for my K75 that was busted up. In this case I was going to have it done in truck bed liner so I did some rough filling and sanding on the exterior of the crack on my own as I knew the truck bed liner would cover up any minor blems.
