I'd go ebay for some used OEM plastics to repaint before I went with something new and cheap elsewhere...
Eh? Didn't know me and johnnyx looked alike

Just so long as you don't mix me with the kitty-kat. He's still pissed I went to the F4i and might claw ya to death for that mistake

So what's your excuse as to why I bought the RR, Mix? I'm pretty sure MY F3 is faster than yours with the key still in my pocket.

so my fuel pump was acting odd, I think it had some of the old petrol still in it and it gunked up and fu*ked up, so I bought a new one from the stealership since I want to ride this weekend... 190 usd oh well as long as it resolves the problems

The relays go out on those more than the pumps. You can rebuild those pumps AND the relays, no need to spend $190, unless time is of interest.

Since you already got it, I'd look into rebuilding the old one and throwing it on eBay to recoup some cost.

Johnny, I saw the post about fixing the pump... mine doesnt go out... it just runs VERY loud and only pushing petrol from 1/4 of the nozzle, the bike has 5.3k miles and has sat for 4 years, I think the pump is just full of the old petrol.

Ha! I work in Franklin Park. Grew up in Elmwood Park. I'm living way out in Aurora now, though.
