    Went down yesterday

    Well yesterday morning I finally dropped my bike, I got cut off by a car that was trying to avoid hitting a school bus. I was less angry then I thought I would be, after all, he cut me off to avaoid hitting a school bus full of kids that had stopped way to short. Buy now I have a question, I am fixing the bike myself and I was wondering what people think of these choices, on ebay right now there are 2 side fairings one is painted and is going for $100 dollars, it is not the right color, and one is brand new going for $125.....Which would you choose? Am I better off just getting the band new one? Or does it really not matter since it is going to be painted anyways? Thanks for any input as auction ends in a few hours.

    Unhappy I knew it would happen sometime.

    It was scary, I saw the car about a second before I swerved into sand on the side of the road that was not so forgiving when I tried to brake....but I am fine with a couple cuts on my knee and ankle.

    Sorry

    UNless its simple paintings an expensive horror show.

    If its only the one part see what a factory painted one would cost its probably cheaper then buy and paint.

    YOu can always camp on ebay until real riding season

    Sorry to hear that you went down, especially so early in the riding season.

    Otherwise, I agree with the above, go for the new fairing just in case. It would suck to buy the used one, then have to buy a new one afterwards.

    $25

    The color match is $25

    even if the new one has to be painted I'm sure its a better base to paint upon.
