dam, that a lot of damage for 10mph. I wiped doing about 25 on gravel and its not that bad, but i think thats b/c the muffler took a lot of the brunt when it went down.

that plastic is def repairable. LOW grit sand paper, and there is a company that makes the exact paint for motorcycles. Ill find where that is and post a link....dont buy new plastic just for those scrapes..thats alot of $$$ to spend when the plastics are still in good shape, minus the scrape.

even its cracked a little, you can still fix it.

Okay all, started work on the bike today and have a bit of a concern about the stator coil. None of the wires are cut, but 2 wires small flat spots on them where it looks like they rubbed on the inside portion of the alternator rotor.

I read in the manual about how to test the generator but i can't start the bike until i replace the stator cover, and I don't want to replace the cover and then have to disassemble it again if the coils are bad. Can you guys take a quick look at the pictures below and let me know what you think about the coils?

wow that is almost exactly what happened to me like 3 years ago when i bought mine...(sams club parking lot, puddle of coolant,first brand new tire, BAD combo). if you wanna sell that fairing let me know it looks waaaay better than mine. i'll see if a can post a pic of my damage. andd good luck with your repairs.

damn dude that musta been a hard hit to break the case open like a walnut, just replace the cover start the bike and if something aint right its not a big deal to take the case back off, if it aint broke dont fix it, or as i always do if it aint broke fix it til it is haha

Got her fixed up and running like new again. Rather than fix the turn signal i just integrated them (cost less than buying a new signal). The only thing I haven't done is replace the fairing. I have the new one in my garage, but I'm waiting till I get some frame sliders.
