My parts came.
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2015 9:42 am
SO ... not long back I had my spill. Some cosmetic damage, through here I was able to source some cheaper than dealership parts. I ordered them, had them imported, paid the duty (which was pennies) and I have a big box of pretty new parts. I've now replaced my twisted break arm, handle bar caps and mirror.
Still got the panelling to do but thought I'd keep you all updated. Hopefully my phone will be working soon and I'll get some progress pictures.
Also, I thought I'd give anyone here first refusal on any of the damaged parts before I put them on ebay, won't want much for them; If you're any good at body work and don't want to buy full priced new parts and if they're any use to you please drop me a line.
I have: -
A left mirror with a scratched back casing, but the mirror itself is undamaged and would be useful to anyone who has a cracked one.
A twisted (LEFT) break arm, no use to anyone really. unless you like banana shaped breaks.
left and right black handle bar caps (originals) scratched left one undamaged right.
A smashed left front fairing (RED).
A right fairing with no damaged apart from an inch long scratch down to black plastic, easily filled and touched up, if you know what you're doing (RED). only replaced because I was already buying parts.
A left flake with chip out of the bottom (black)
A bottom fairing with scratches and chips (RED)
A grab rail fairing with small hardly noticeable scratch (RED). Only replaced because I was already buying parts.
The fairing contour that goes around the glove Box door. has a clip missing at back, still fits and doesn't cause any problems and doesn't move. Only replaced because I was already buying parts
Like I say I'll be putting them on ebay soon but first refusal is for you guys.
ADMIN, if I need to move this post please tell me, thanks.
