new mirror, new brake (or bend it, you can do that), plastic can be fixed using some bondo and rattle can (your stickers will need to be taken off using heat gun)

Ignore it unless it drives your OCD thru the roof.

If so, sanding + bondo + paint and you'll never know the difference. Possibly get someone to cut new vinyl for the decals that got scratched. Or get replacement decals.

Engine vent windows are also fairly cheap on eBay (by comparison). Might find an unrashed one for around 70-100

Thats probably what im gunna do, just heat the brake and bend it back, the blinker bulb also broke so those are cheap. And i did see a whole new fairing for like 100 on ebay i might just get. Second option, sell fairings and put that money towards new ones

new farings are expensive (oem) and Ebay wont look right... so just fix these, it'll cost you around 30/40$ ... as far as turn signals go with non oem, they're ugly :P

full ebay plastics don't look the same theres a walkthrough on here ... theres spaces here and there, it's not like oem... oem plastics will clost you more than to fix these.

I can help you out a little on fixing your plastics, in all honesty you can do it yourself for 1/4 of the price of going to get the bike painted

You're looking at about $460 plus shipping for the lower cowl and the service panel. That's with paint and decals.

I did a quick search on the ebay plastic walkthrough and didnt find anything so im prolly looking under the wrong things, any chance you could post it/pm me with the link? And i looked at the DIY about repairing fairings, seems easy enough but my plastics dont have holes in them so you think im good with just sanding them and not using the "GOOP" stuff?

you have scratches in the plastics... you'll need to sand it down and then apply the bondo to fill in the scratches, sand, refill, sand, prime, sand, paint

yea thats minor. find someone who does damn good paint work, it will be cheaper. i laid my bike down hard about a month ago but im repainting my whole bike and changing color and graphics. way cheaper. just took alot of time to think of a scheme and graphics i like more than what i have now. and absolutely on the frame sliders. slow speed drops are highly ****ty cuz they do more damage than everyone thinks. sliders are incredibly benificial. i have titaniam sliders. pricey, but worth it
