RE: Bike parts Slang/Jargon
gta...that was my thought as well...it's the fairing stay, i believe is the accurate term...it's a piece of metal that sort of holds the whole front fairing together....
and the V fairing or inner fairing IS the fairing that mates your two lower fairings together in front of the radiator by the headers..

RE: Bike parts Slang/Jargon
Thanks for the help guys, she called this morning and it is call the upper front fairing stay aka Bird Cage.
The bike is not mine so I wouldnt hit her fir damaging it, its her bike and shes always wanted one. So I found one for a good price and she purchased it. Now she had always talked about how she had ridden motorcycles all her life, come to find out she had been on a few dirt bikes/mopeds when she was a kid. BIG DIFFERENCE, her first attempt going around the block had to be instructed by a neighbour who has owned a bike for several years how to use the clutch, brakes and gear selector.
Right off the bat I knew she had zero experience and this is her first bike!!!! So she rode it around the block and after she did that told her she needed to take the riders training course, so we booked it for may24 weekend. anyhow eager beaver just couldnt wait. She wanted the bike to be street legal and pass inspection to get her plates etc. Wait time at the closest BIKE repair shop was 3 weeks this was about 2 weeks ago. She decided not to wait and rather wanted it done the next day against my advisement to wait for the bike shop she opted to get an inspection by Canadian Tire which is equivalent to your PEP boys/walmart automotive. She got it done the next day and it passed and needed nothing to safety. Which was the main reason I wanted it inspected by a proper bike shop. Anyways 3 days later she decided to go learning and the accident happened. I warned her to get the bike inspected by a specialist and she refused, I warned her to wait until taking the driver training course and she refused. She was not badlyhurt, few bruises on her thigh leg and a sore wrist but nothing major or requiring medical attention. So at this point Im just at the point where "people learn the hard way". For some reason sadly I still dont think shes learned. Maybe Im being to harsh on her but none of this would have happened if she had just been patient but Im happy that her first accident was minor and hopefully in the future there wont be another.
thanks for listening to my rant
