Greek Tragedy

RE: Greek Tragedy
Anyone done repairs like this who could give me some advice? I might have to geta sharkskinz race upper and put in some aftermarket halogen lights. Should I just take it to the dealer to get it checked out, or might there be some better option? I might even streetfighter it out.God, this really sucks, especially since I just got it fixed up and painted about a month and a half ago... Sitting here at work I keepthinkingaboutwhat my bike looks like now sitting in my garage; just sad.
I might be jumping the gun about the repairs and all...I have no idea if it's going tobe road worth again...Really hope it will be, though.

RE: Greek Tragedy
Bike seems mechanically sound. Just needed to re-connect the fuel supply line and it fired right up. Took it around the block a few minutes ago, and didn't notice any difference at all. It looks like ****, though, but I'm pretty sure all that I need is the front upper fairing(s), lower fairing brackets, and front pillar/subframe assembly (not sure exactly what this is called).Also, I need to get a hold of the front fuel tank rubber grommet (mount).The lower fairings are damaged, but repairable. I'm just going to paint it flat black when I get it fixed up. Fuggit. Pretty sure I'm going to buy the sharkskinz upper race fairing, unless someone on the forum has the 3 stock pieces for a good price. If I get the race fairing, I have to decide how to do the headlight(s). I was thinking of multiple halogens, but am unsure about the pattern and how to align them properly...Ideas?
Oh, and here are some pics:

I've been looking for parts on ebay. Here's that thread:

Damn, I'm surprised how much the upper stay costs! A guy at a local mc salvage yard quoted me at $210 for a new one! ****! Hopefully the one on ebay is under $100... If these prices keep up, I might have to part it out and find another cbr. If it costs $500-$600for the parts (like it's looking), it's just not worth it! And after that, I still have to do the body work on the lowers and repaint!
F%CK! F%CK! F%CK!
