Damage wasn't as bad as I thought. My fairing is worse from a curb. But still, glad to hear that you're OK.

Personally, I'd just buy an cheap-o fairing kit. Since they're all scraped. But you could always try sanding and touching up. I got lucky, and only have to replace one piece, but others aren't so lucky.

Glad you're OK, bike doesn;t look too bad.

However, I would have a lengthy talk with a riding buddy that took more than 1 minute to notice I wasn't behind him anymore. 20 minutes is way too long.

@mk2mike - Wow, after seeing that poor bike my accident looks like i just dropped it in the driveway. That's a bummer to see man..

@zero1080- Yea I've sanded and painted over some the scuffs on the light silver part of the fairing, but haven't gotten to the darker silver yet because I can't find a good paint match for the rear cowl or the front fairing. I then went with a flat black on my stator cover. I need to figure out how to attach that broken piece back onto the fairing somehow.

Do you guys know if an RR left mirror will fit on an F4i? On eBay they sell F4i ones and RR ones, but someone is selling one on craigslist for $10 so if it will fit I'd love to pick it up, thanks.
