Sad News - 5/16/2007 3:50:20 PM    rmtcrib Posts: 69 Joined: 4/15/2007 Status: offline Sad News....I was parked at work and a harley guy tips his bike and WAMMMM hits the side of the RR.  Nice dime size scratch and cracked the Mid-fairing.  He has offered to get it fixed and wanted to know if anyone knows where I can order a replacement for a good deal.  I called the bike shop and they told me $376.  I say looking for good deal because I respect the fact that he told me, and offered to fix it and not just takeing off and not say anything about it. 04 1krr by the way.  Right Mid fairing/Red Post #: 1

I was quoted I think 380 for them to fix my cracks and repaint my 06. A new oem mid was I think 278 from my local dealer. Dont quote me on the new mid, its been a while since I checked it out. _____________________________ 2006 CBR1000RR 2005 CRF250R I love me them HONDAS! (in reply to rmtcrib) Post #: 4

I've dealt with them countless times and i've never been dissatisfied with the parts i've received. (in reply to genghis) Post #: 9
