I fix everything myself. I know of a shop in Oceanside that a friend works at, but they, or anyone else, has ever touched my bikes.

What's wrong with your bike. From what I gather, its just a damaged fairing. Is there more?

I want to just make sure that nothing is bent (frame or forks), the right fairing is damaged and the upper fairing is cracked and damaged. The right grip (throttle) is beat up and there looks like there could be damage inside the handlebar, hence why I need to get it checked out as I couldn't tell you what all could be wrong! lol

If 74demon is recommending a mechanic, he's got to be good.

Lee's Cycle in San Diego is top notch...LCR News » Racing and more. They can do suspension settings for you as well.

How hard did you go down? Close ups of the damage would be helpful too.

Basically, my rear wheel locked and I skid into a curb, so whatever damage a bike can get from falling over on a curb. Ill try to get some pics of the damage up today!

Sorry to hear about your fall, but if it makes you feel any better, I also just purchased my first ever motorcycle and went down 26 hours later. At least you made it a week lol. It happens.
