Such a noob mistake.

I forgot to put the kick stand down before taking the bike off of the rear stand...

I broke the front fairing nose and upper front fairing stay bracket.

Should I claim it with insurance or just buy parts and fix it? Do I go CF or stick w/ stock?

Anyone know any cheap places to get these parts?

If anyone has these parts let me know (red fairing, upper front fairing stay).

Thanks.

Unless you want your insurance premiums to go up, I would say fix it yourself. You can find the pieces here and there I am sure. If your bike is red I would say get the 1098R front nose fairing with the white number plate, that would look sick. Just my 2 cents. Good luck

Is a carbon one worth it?

OPP has a front upper which costs like a new one.

I am constantly scowering ebay and the forum here for that one lucky deal. Fairing stays are fairly easy to find. Finding a good nose fairing might be tricky and require patience. I would also not involve insurance, as they'll look at the retail cost to fix it...not a pretty picture. Surely someone is turning a bike into a track bike and parting out the plastics and such. Good luck.

Here is a good pre-preg Carbon piece for a little less.

CF Nose Fairing: 1098/848 Street

Thanks guys appreciate your posts.

Yea I was considering the motowheels CF fairing. I am assuming the CF version is only slightly lighter. Their website says 0.62kg. Kinda makes me wonder how heavy is the stock front fairing.

Looked at Ebay looks like they have a few options.

Thanks

Moto,

What do you think of painting a Carbon Fiber fairing red w/ a CF number plate?
Have you done this before?

Also wondering what is the cost to paint it red since your website says there is that option.

All red
Red with CF number plate
Red with white number plate

Thanks
