Thanks for the help guys!!! [sm=burnout.gif] I think I might have found the person I am going to go through to get it fixed. Want to hear what you guys think about it first. Empiregp.com had me send them a quote in with pictures and after talking to them on the phone they quoted me for $580.00 not for new items to fix, paint, and re-decal the parts!! What do you guys think???

Thanks to Tahoe SC for the website !!! I owe you one!!

why dont you just try and fix the plastics your self? Go in the DIY section and check out the thread that talks about using spray paint. I laid down my bike and Im in the process of fixing the plastics myself. I went out and bought a Fiberglass repair kit and patched up the cracks and holes in the plastics. Your black bike wouldn't be to hard to copy either. Just sand it all down order the paint and do it yourself. I spent about 30 bucks on the fiberglass repair kit and the Polyester Bondo. Im just finishing up sanding all the old paint off the fairings now. All the holes are patched up. It should cost me about $80 when im done and I should have brand new looking plastics. Im doing the front and each side fairing. And im a complete beginner at this stuff. I have never tried this before and it looks great. Super easy to do. Maybe it will save you a little money!!! You just need to patience to do it. Which is the hardest part.

Sounds great !! But I don't have any patience and I am not that handy with body work just good in the construction department. Sounds great though thats cool that you saved all that money. Post the pics when your done to show off your work !

Take Care

Jonny there is a place here in Denver called "Erico Motorsports" (phone# (303) 308-1811) that gobbles up tons of wrecked bikes (huge warehouse) try them or maybe see if you have such a place in texas. I bought a ruff 600 f3 and they had every piece I needed near perfect condition even the correct color. That's allways better than repainted plastics, yours is a little easier being all black but the metal flake is hard to match getting only certain pieces done you might notice a difference between panels in the sun not to mention stickers lining up perfectly etc. Really good prices on most stuff, I'm pretty sure they will ship. Just a thought, good luck in your search.
