RE: more pics
ORIGINAL: krash
since this is your first bike I am assuming, I would do the fiberglass trick. from inside the fairing put the piece
back in place, then use fiberglass strips and put it hold into place. Your side fairing is supposed to
have that bump, but not all those scratches[sm=smiley24.gif]. Ride it all next season, then, after you
drop it one or two more times, go ahead and buy a new side fairing and upper if need be.
seen a couple pieces of the blue fairings on ebay today....check em out

im glad the bump is supposed to b there...it almost seemed like one of those bumps right out of a cartoon when the character gets hit on the head with an anvil and the bump grows out of nowhere

i dunno about the bar ends or mirrors, but there aint a flush mount that i know of big enough to cover that hole properly, you'll need to epoxy that piece back on before you can get flushies

Where are you located??
I would say try to fix anything you can anyway you know how befire having to spend over a grand for parts. This is how you learn and become accustom with stuff. I'd try anything you can. IT doesnt hurt because you may have to buy one in the end, right.

Mirror, just buy a new one.
Side fairing looks pretty tricky. You may be able to plastic weld it, but there will still be a finite crack there. If you can weld it, you can always put a decal over it or something
Turnsignal housing/Front Cowl. You can do one of two things (that I can think of).
1. Get some aftermarket turns that will completely cover the hole and it wont look noticeable. Then you can leave the scratched at the top, or, take it to get it sanded and paint
2. Buy a new one.
- IMO, I would get some aftermarket turns and cover it up and not worry about the scratches for now
- Fiberglassing is too much work for something that can becolded with a simple turn signal.
Thats all I can think of now. But good luck
