Wow, someone else who remembers this movie [8D] I'm impressed. You must be about as old as I am Glad to hear you are doing ok Tall & glad to hear the bike is coming back together ok. How is the shoulder & hip doing today?

 

I feel like i've been hit by a truck...
But I'll survive.
only sore on the whole rt. side.

 

Hey dude, I am new here,but I feel your pain, phisically and mentally. I bought my new 1krr two weeks ago Friday and did the same on cold tires on the following Monday, with only 30 miles on it. I got a few estimates from local body shops about repairing my lower and mid fairings and one shop told me they will repair the plastics and paint the entire bike for $500.00. I will post some pics soon.

 

Repair and paint for $500 ?? Geez -- that's a damn good price!! Most shops won't touch body work for under $1000 let alone re-paint.

 

T-D -- here's the person who can get ya great prices on new stuff:

Kathy at A@B Xtreme Suzuki

1*866*848*0355

Call or e-mail her ... be sure to talk to Kathy and mention suzukihayabusa.org and she'll get you a deal.

 

That is true about ther cost to work on stock fairings...the biggest P.I.T.B. ( pain in the butt) is getting the stock decals off. They are on there and not designed to come off (without a fight)

 

Yes I know , I had to go to many, many body shops and got estimates that were much higherthon $500. U just have to look hard.

 

use a heavy duty industrial heating element/hair dryer...my friend wrecked his F4i and used one to take the stickers off and have it painted all black...said the stickers bubbled up and pealed right off...jus gotta be careful about the thin line between bubbling stickers and deforming bodywork

 

yikes! speedy recovery my man

 

Here are some pics of my 1krr with only 30 miles on it.[IMG][/IMG]
