Bizzy's 95 1000F

I can sympathize; I set my '90 down on a not-quite-fully extended kickstand in my garage, and the big girl pinned me between her and a 900# safe. Talk about the devil and the deep blue sea...amazing what adrenaline can do, though, since my wife came in to find me shouting and pushing the bike back up with one hand. She was terrified, thinking I'd been shouting because I was hurt (which I sort of was) but I was actually trying to keep the fairing off the corner of the safe.
All the parts you scratched are gonna' be easy to touch up; you wisely missed the big panels, and only hit the bits. Nicely done.
Pretty bike!

Well both those covers are still available and not too expensive if you are a perfectionist as I just 2 months ago got exactly the same ones for a friend that had just purchased
the very same bike with 4900 miles
exhaust - sand & satin black paint same for the mirrors
Maybe get the parts and hold off until you are fully settled with the bike
then put 'em on - not trying to be a wise guy about it either - just saying.

Thanks for the comments and advice guys, Sprock your advice is gold and is actually what im gonna do till i do get more comfortable with the bike, i went to my local honda dealership and the covers are $64 dollars a piece i ordered a left and right side. As for the exhaust ive sanded and painted flat black as advised, but im gonna order a delkevic carbon fiber dual exhaust soon.
