Hmm... $1200. The yr service warranty is worth that easily.

You can prolly pickapart fairings from ebay for about $300 - $500. Save yourself the tears now and don't even think of paying for China fairings. You'll come out better getting used OEMs that are mismatched and having them painted.

You can get front and rear shinko tires for $160-$200. Not a track or dedicated twisties tire. But they're more than ample for street riding. All in all you came out right nicely. Minimal future investment and have a guaranteed top shape bike.

Cool thanks for info, Question about the china fairings...

The link below would be an ideal set of fairings that I currently had in mind from this company on ebay...
