can't seem to find it.........
Well when I was replacing my steering head bearings, (to tapered roller) I discovered that my front fender/fairing/beak, whatever you want to call it, was ready to fall off!!  , 3 of the 4 mounts were broke off, & the last one was cracked...........
So I called my dealer for a price on a replacement RED one......get this...... $700!! what a joke! keep in mind I've never hit anything or laid it down, it broke all by itself, "maybe" with the help of a wheelie or two,  but in my mind this still should have not happened. 
I decided to go all carbon, ( so much cheaper & lighter) that's where I need help, I need the link to that company that makes the tank decals in different color & styles. I've seen it before but can't remember where.
Also if anyone has a good used RED front fender/beak, for sale, please let me know....Aloha Alex

You want broke beak???... I'll sell you a piece of ECM folklore with historic xerox graphics mostly intact for a not too obscene collectors price. 
Seriously though, buy a carbon one

Alex, I seem to remember Ed at Commonwealth telling me he had a trashed Hyper and he'd sell me a tank shroud off of it. You might ring him and inquire. If you need his contact info, PM me and I will be happy to forward it to you.

isn't it possible to get the mounts plastic welded? if only the mount snapped off and then this could be a cheap fix.

Hey guys, what I really need is the "link" to the company that makes the decals for the Hypers, stripes, tank graphics in different colors, etc. Anyone have that link? Thanks, Aloha Alex
