Wreckage....

The ones on eBay from Hong Kong or China are cheap, thin plastic CRAP that don't line up for sht. Looks like the only things you NEED are the foot peg bracket and a fork tube. Not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing on the "steering shaft". The rim doesn't look too bad, a little scuffed, might be out of round a little. As for the fairings go a little fibergless work and alot of sanding will fix most of them, the grey (or silver) pieces look pretty good (considering), some FLEXABLE bumper patch and a repaint and they'll be good as new. Looks like the worst of them is the right side fairing, look for one in the classifieds (on here) and check eBay. (for the other stuff too). If you were local I'd say come by with 20 bucks (for supplies) and a case of beer (labor charges), and we'll fix it right up. But there ain't a whole lota riding goin on here in the D, with all the snow and ice on the ground.lol

Also I think the fairing kit may have been aftermarket anyways.....When I bought the bike the fairings were not fully installed and one of the headlight mounting posts was already broken.....From what I can tell all of the mounting posts were plastic welded and not molded....also all of the decals have a clear coat over them.....
from what I’ve read a lot of people like the auctmarts fairing kits and they have one similar to the one I already had....in fact....I'm convinced they are the same.....the other fairings never fit very well.....if they are the same as I already had I'm ok with that....
I just need to do some research on the front fork now...

Hey man, I just took off a very MINTY front fork set off my 04 600RR when I swapped the inverted forks on her (off the bike in my sig)... what did you need? I got both triples and steering neck, with bearings... PM me and we can discuss, but I think I have what you need, the whole assembly!
BTW - That upper will very spendy to replace. I'd take it off and bring it to a body shop and piece the rest together off ebay...come spring, there's tons of parts on there!!

glad your ok chief. if you can find a guy that does decent plastic work, most of your fairings seem salvagable. the frame should be close to fine.just run your fingers on the inside of the welds, also check the subframe for bends or twists. did you ride it home or tow? how are you physically?

Aftermarket Fairings
Assuming you are talking about the fairing kits from Hong Kong, you really can't beat the price. I have several friends that have purchased them in differing color schemes and they are well worth the price - between $550 and $700 to the door. They includes all parts including the front fender.. The fit is not what I would call great, but considering the price... On one set there was a small gap between the inlays and the gas tank. Another set the lowers would not stay together properly at the front below the headers - minor problem to fix. The quality of the paint was excellent. The decals looked great and the clear coat was flawless. Considering the cost to replace the damaged parts, I would opt for this solution anytime. From Honda the tank cover alone is around 5 bills.

Rode it home....wasn't easy with a broken foot peg....
it was only about 7 mi or so...I could tell the forks were messed up because I had to steer to the right quite a bit to drive straight......
I guess I did get a dis-located shoulder out of it....I knew I couldn't move it much the first day....but by the second day it hurt bad....went to the chiropractor...dislocated shoulder, torn tendon...It's all good though :-) !!!

Thanks for the posts...I think if it is the same as what I’ve had I’ll be happy with it....$240 something seems pricy for shipping though.....probably helps with the low product price.
