Check on e-Bay ~ there's like a dozen under $200.

Good luck...seems like everybody and their momma is tryin to find one. How bad is yours? You can always repair it with some fiberglass. Thats what I did after months of searching, like you said they're all too pricey. So 20 bucks later and a lil elbow grease and it looks like new, well almost...needs paint

it depends on what you want... im looking for one also and seem to keep finding aftermarket ones for cheap on ebay. But i talked to a guy who bought a tail fairing and if didnt fit right... it was crooked after he installed it... so where's the middle???? OEM a lot of money but will fit, ect... or aftermarket cheap my or my-not fit. and some of the aftermarket plastic seems to made of some weird plastic. You got me, but ill keep an eye out for ya.

I got one on e-bay (used) last fall for $275. It wasn't perfect, but it made the cut.

Check craigslist, too.

the one that hondarider gave us a link to on ebay is a perfect match to what you're looking for...it's fairly cheap for a fairing and it's plain white, so you couldn't paint it any color you wanted

Another thing to look for is if you have any cycle salvage places around in your area or within a reasonable distance. Some far places can ship, but that just add costs. Usually, from a cycle salvage place you can get the exact part off of the exact same series, sub series or even year of your bike and all you will have to do is usually paint it.

Here is one in PA, www.ajcyclesalvage.com

I got alot of my parts from A and J but they dont have my fairing lol...

Im kinda iffy about the whole aftermarket ones...i just dont wanna spend the money for it then have to get a prof to install it for more money... i would so jump on that fairing if it an exact fit...

Im not worried about paint cause im getting a custom paint next winter... i already have it planned out... the guy said it would take 1-2 months to do soo i dont wanna give the bike up for 2 months riding season...
