Default DEALER JACKED UP MY BIKE

What do I do now? Dude I am so pissed off. I had the dealer throw some integrated lights for the front until my hotbodies came in. First of all, there were no running lights and they wouldn't blink.....never put resistors on.

But didn't care, only temporary, but check out the pic................


What the heck now?!?!!? Not only did they cut out any place to actually mount my Hotbodies lights, BUT they also cut so far back on the farining no matter what light I use a big frickin hole will show............

They asked if they could cut a little, because the hole wasn't quite big enough...assumed just the two little holes...not that they were gonna take half my fairing off.

Any suggestions for a fix in case they won't do crap, besides just buying new plastic?

thanks

in case unrecognizeable....use to be front light area....where one should be able to mount anything that would blink when turning

Fiber glass patch from any auto place like auto zone will patch that. they also have pvc pach. I used this on a seca fairing (same black plastic) and it was actually stronger where I fixed it. The pvc patch didn't look like it would be the right stuf but it was awsome sandable and everything. believe it or not I even used bondo to fillin in little imperfections. this was all suggested by my father. he is a master at body work and rebulding cars. you need proof Ill send some pics. hope they fix it for you though that is a terible job let us know how it goes.

dealer should be held reliable and should have to fix..... but I would wait till your hotbodies come in and they put them on..... IF it doesnt look right make them buy you new plastic and do it right!! thats what I would do....

GOOD LUCK !!
