Not a good day for a bike ride. Drop Not Good
Well, not even 400 miles on it and I dropped it my garage. Thought the kick stand was all the way down and down it went. Now I am about sick to my stomach. So the question is... Can I get a replacement front clip for this? Already painted? And the bottom plastic is bad. I should replace that as well. Any idea where to get these? Also the plastic screws that hold the shield on were broke. Sorry for all the questions but a couple more if I may. This is all stuff that can replaced without insurance being involved right? I will need new stickers as well.
This really sucks and need some help. Thanks

yo... sorry to hear about the drop. **** like this happens all the time - just happened to a buddy of mine who dropped his 600rr in his shed. he broke off the same piece you did in the 1st pic... hasn't fixed it yet and just rides it as is. the lower cowl doesn't look all that bad. by the way, check ebay for parts (new & used)... always plenty on there and sometimes at a great deal. i wouldn't get the ins co involved if i were you. best of luck fixin' her up.

That sucks, but its not that bad...definately no need to bring insurance into it. just go to ronayers.com and you can order all the plastics OEM prepainted with stickers already on and everything. You can even order all the little screws you scratched up. Since yours is an 06 silver (they only have up to 05 listed) you need to call them to order it. They are very friendly and helpful and ship fast.
The upper cowling prepainted w/ stickers: $478.55
lower cowling prepainted w/ honda sticker: $111.07 (or you could maybe just get it repainted)
stratcover: $51......(or fix the scratches..take it off your bike, smooth out scratches with some 220 grit sand paper and send it off along with your clutch cover (cover on the right side) to this guy: tripageled.com and have it powdercoated black) I have mine powdercoated black and it looks sick! hell...you should do this even if you buy a new cover
Dont worry about it to much, it should all work out. Just make sure you install some frame sliders if you havent already!
