    A bar end mirror is your best friend after a crash that fucks up mirrors.

    have you looked at sharkskinz?
    http://www.sharkskinz.com/shopdispla...&cat=2007-2008

    I run their fairing on my 900SS, instead of a 3 piece plastic fairing i got a 1 piece fiberglass fairing for my bike and it cost less than any 1 individual piece of fairing. It wasn't totally a perfect a fit as the factory one but close enough and looks fine.

    I'd check out sharkskinz street bodywork. Strongest product for the price.

    isn't it nice when you realize all that shit doesn't make a lick of difference when you're actually riding the bike? as long as everything is functional I couldn't care less when stuff gets damaged.

    +1 on the Woodcraft rearsets... they act like a slider themselves... my bike has been down on both sides since I put those on and you can't really even tell by looking at it thanks to the rearsets and framesliders.

    Thoughts? You can drive to the woodcraft main office and pick up replacement parts if you need them. They're locals that make an exceptional product. The shit just works.

    Re: I had a revelation!

    I had a 25-35 mph get-off about 3 or 4 years ago that resulted in only cosmetic damage to the bike while I got a few separated ribs. Every time I go to pull the trigger on new plastics, my inner monologue asks the question "Do I really need to spend money on this when the bike is otherwise fine?"

    3 or 4 years later and my bike still looks like this (the right side is perfect):

    Re: I had a revelation!

    welcome to not giving a crap. Next time you drop your bike moving it you wont even care its great. I love my bike but its got a nice dent in the gas tank from a little track day get off. Bike functions perfect, tank holds gas . . . dont have the 400$ for a new take so shes been like that for a while

    Re: I had a revelation!

    You're obviously quite familiar with my bike, Jeff. I ended up rebuilding my exhaust can with a sheet of aluminum I picked up from Home Depot and some rivets Sounds the same and it looks pretty nifty. Not sure if I'll just clear coat it or paint it some color. I'm swapping my yellow fairings back on for now and will eventually get into some fairing repair. One thing I noticed is how flimsy your body work is, I guess that's a weight saving thing.

    This is why I want a motard, bike goes down, NO DAMAGE!

    Re: I had a revelation!

    step 1: stop caring about looks, care about ride

    step 2: sell street bike because you can't ride it at full potential anyways

    step 3: buy dirt bike

    step 4: crash dirt bike on every ride, but have a f'in blast riding it
