You may not want to replace the damage fairing just yet....you're new and you will most likely drop the bike a few more times. Until you're super comfy, don't go crazy looking to replace the stuff...by no means am I saying this to make you feel crappy...it happens all the time.

Hello Adam, congratulations on your new bike. Sorry to hear about your accident & glad you're OK. I agree with pitsvtec in that don't rush out and replace everything with brand new stuff just yet. Depending on the severity of the damage the fairings sustained, you'll probably will be able to fix them at a much cheaper cost than buying new ones. Chinese made fairings will not compare at all to the quality of OEM ones. Post some pics when you get a chance and we'll see if we can help you get your bike fixed.
As mentioned earlier, e-bay is the best place to get new/used parts at cheap prices. Invest in some frame sliders. Had you had those on they probably would have saved your fairing. One thing about these bikes is that EVERYTHING is expensive on them.
Welcome to CBRF

I have some nailpolish I could ship you to touch that up....LOL! Wait to fix it and when you get it fixed buy frame sliders so this doesn't happen again - but trust me, you will drop your bike a few more times...it happens to all of us at least 4 times....

I would recommend a pair of railz... Or better yet put it down on the other side to match and go for the "wrecked" look! Chicks dig that more!
