Need help - i have a man down
Hi Guys/Gals
Please be gentle with me as putting it bluntly i haven't a bloody clue!!
I had an interesting introduction to ice for the first time on Monday evening......and now im shopping for parts, my main question i have is 'Whats the name for the part were you poor the oil into (the whole grey thing)'??
Secondly anyone know were i can get a new set of Fairings from?
The other parts i should be ok for finding!

Do you think crash bungs would have saved it being damaged so much.
Any way, it's easier to mend bikes than people at least it's the bike that got most of the damage and not you.

Re: Need help - i have a man down
tbh before you start, assuming you are fully comp. id let the insurers have a look at that co sit is most definately a cat c write off.
mine was too and i got it back for £70
best just keep an eye out on ebay for the fairings, but they can be easily repaired with a soldering iron regardless how bad they might look.
tony mon might have a spare casing - they arent cheap tho m8 i warn you!
good luk getting it back together for warmer weather & glad youre not too badly bashed

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
Re: Need help - i have a man down
Sorry about that mate.
If you need a headlight and headlight surround i have them down the garage. Or as benny calls it "steptoes yard"
I think i might have some mirrors too. Don't quote me on that but i'll check.
At least your ok though.

Re: Need help - i have a man down
I think I have a clutch cover, which to be honest I was keeping as it's on a spare complete engine, but as it's one of our own I can let it go for £70 plus P+P.
PM me if that sounds ok, it's probably less than one would go for on E-Blag!
I may have a tail plastics in the right colour; one slight scrape and a small crack but perfectly acceptable for a repair and respray.
It's currently on the bike but I have another which I am getting resprayed to fit mine, releasing the current one if you want it.
Paint code would be Y124.
I will have a set of exhausts as well, I'm currently playing with a set of low carbon can co's, (currently on the bike) a set of low Vipers, or a set of high MIG's.
I'll keep one for mine, one for my spare bike, and sell the other.
I won't be ready to sell these for about a month, though, after they've been fitted and checked to see if they affect power at all.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

That fairing would need more than a soldering iron with the bits missing...benny hedges wrote:...best just keep an eye out on ebay for the fairings, but they can be easily repaired with a soldering iron regardless how bad they might look....
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Re: Need help - i have a man down
i have a right side fairing spare,
needs a bit of tlc but its infinitely better than the one you have on lol!you can have it for cost of postage & i'll patch it up before sending it.
only bit missing is the flat strip of plastic above the rad, but you could always snap the one off your fairing & melt it on with a sploddering rod.
let us know if you want it and i'll tart it up a bit.
what else are you short of?
also have a spare clear db screen and a clear std one
