www.bikebandit.com or ebay. Don't replace it yet, if you don't have a lot of experience you will probably someday drop it again, not to sound mean. Replace it after there a few more scratches on it.

if it's just scratched you can get one of those carbon fiber (or lookalike) stick-on covers... if it's cracked though, this is the chance to put on an NRC cover![8D]

I don't agree with ampfp, Those carbon fiber look-a-like are a waste of money, They sometimes cost more than a replacement stator cover and your insulating your stator cover keeping in the heat which is bad. If there's only a scratch on your current cover I suggest you keep riding with it like that. If your picky and want your bike looking good than replace it with an OEM stator cover, Don't forget to also order the gasket, The last thing you want is a leaking cover.

i got mine off ebay, but i dont know how that would be over seas. if you do use bikebandit, make sure you order everything you need at once. i would accidently brake a $1 bolt and order a new one and pay $5 just for shipping 1 dang bolt. buy extra crap if you need to when making an order. dont forget the gasket!

Cheers every one for your comments, Iv decided to keep it as it is at the moment as it hard to see the scratches there on the bottom part of the cover.
Heres a pic:what you think?

Thats nothing, the only one who's gonna notice it is you. Save your money, those new covers are pretty expensive.

New stator cover from local dealer is about $70cnd, when i purchased my F4i a short while back it was scraped up a bit due to tip over in driveway, after looking around ebay and finding ones for $50 or so, i decided to just get one from the dealer, after shipping duty etc, it would of been around $70 anyway.
