Default first big bike

hey folks, new member here.
Just about to sit my mod 2, been biking for near a year now on a 125 and have just bought a 87 cbr 600, in great working order, sounds perfect, no rattles or anything, just needs a new rear tyre an a new piece of fairing on the right hand side where it was dropped once, but thats not a major issue. Because it was bought for a steal. It will get replaced though.
Whats a good place to get replace fairing? First or second hand doesn't bother me.

thanks bud,
Yea, am 22, live in central scotland about half an hour from glasgow. The roads are really good round here always buzzing with bikers on a hot saturday or sunday. Got a couple of road trips planned for the summer aswell, so once i get the cbr on the go, its gonna be a good summer.

I did have a quick look around ebay last night, seems like a good choice, although getting paint on it would be a bit of a pain, but like i say, its not something i need, its not gonna affect the running of the bike.

Haven't got any pics as of yet, should get some by the weekend though, im going to pick the bike up, then give it a good clean up.

Also, thanks very much for all the links

I would go with eBay as well.

David Silver Spares are worth knowing about for Honda parts and might have fairing panels (?), and Wemoto are pretty good as well for parts.

Welcome to CBRF your highness!! Congrats on the new bike and good luck finding the parts you need for her. Got any pics you could post up? Be sure to swing by the 600F Section with all of your questions/comments and enjoy the forums.
