    Which Honda dealer near Boston?

    So, my VFR got knocked over by the wind on Monday and the right mirror and windshield broke. I had a spare windshield and bought another mirror. I put it all together today, but things still don't look right (the windshield is under stress and is not perfectly aligned). I suspect that some part of the fairing also got bent. Which of the Honda dealership around Boston is a good one to take it to? I don't want to get ripped off.

    You're cheapest option is probably just to pick up a new part on Craigslist or eBay and switch it out yourself.

    I know, but I am not sure what exactly is wrong. I probably need to take all the front cowl apart and hope there is nothing bent. I suspect that I have reached the limits of my abilities/tolerance

    The dealer will likely muscle everything back together and then charge you for "fixing" it.

    Give GBM a call, they do free pick up/drop off.

    take a look at the upper fairing stay. its probably bent. if you can't tell just take all the fairings off then put them back on. put them all on loosely and everything should line up even if some of the stays are bent a little.

    ya just take a ride to bomo, have them take a look. degs has a great eye for bent shit. just give them a call to make sure they are there. It can probably be bent back very easily. aluminum is very easy to work with

    Re: Which Honda dealer near Boston?

    Thanks for the advice. My friend who is an ex-mechanic said the same thing, but wasn't able to come over to take a look at it. I don't have a garage, so this may have to wait until next weekend unless I can have BOMO pick up the bike. With my schedule I don't really have time to ride down there during the week...
