Default I didn't need this BS.

So a bulb goes out in my turn signal, and no one sells it.

Fine I say, and order some LED versions. Super sexy, way excited.


Turns out under the ugly old POS turn signals, the previous owner created a huge, gaping HOLE where the new ones should go.


now i need a new upper fairing. [&:]

Since all of my plastics have a minor scratch, I feel like i should just order a whole new set.... so expensive tho.

I love those front facing slimline turn signals! I have stupid aftermarket stem ones that look like junk, where do you find those slimline ones that face forward?

idk man but from the pictures the fairings look pretty dang nice to me...you could return the mini-led's and get a better set of those style signals that would cover the hole. if i was you, fairing wise i'd just get the front cowl because your sides look fine(actually great) from the pics...even if theres some small scratches like you say

patman, you actually like those? i think they are huge and hideous. but each to his own, i guess.....
i agree with jdschmidt. instead of getting all new fairings, just patch the holes up and then get it repainted. it would be way cheaper. lets see how big the holes are.

Watan.... Sorry i'm taking so long to get back to you, i'm oober ****ing sick (and have been for the past week.) I made it to my garage, but my cough is too bad to really function right now.






Here's the damage to every other part:









So i'm not sure how i'm going to move forward. Since everything is scrachted, I need to paint it... as it's not perfection...

Well I'll update more when i feel better. All i Know is I may go all white. Anyone got pix of what that looks like?
