Default Biker Down!!!!!

Well I was out riding with a buddy today. We had been riding for about 4 hours and we split up to go home. I was doing about 60-70 and the car two cars infront of me slammed there brakes on. Which then I rear ended the car infront of me, then went over the bike into the grass. The girl i hit said she doesnt think the guy that slammed his brakes on had brake lights, thats why she stopped so suddenly. Just a couple bruises on me. The bike needs new fairings and a radiator. Very thankful to be unharmed.

Does anyone know a good place to buy replacement fairings?

Glad you hear that you are ok. That's the most important thing. Sorry about your bike though. Is it all cosmetic damage?

Be sure to check w/ our forum sponsors for deals on fairings.

if you want oem, and you don't need it tomorrow - go through ebay. you can get everything there, color coded, usually at a great price.




ps - glad you're okay!

Make sure to check if your forks are still straight.

The bike starts and runs fine. Does anyone have a radiator I can buy? What years are they interchangeable with? The bike is a 2000 f4
