    Should have known better

    Ordered a replacement fairing for the clutch side portion that was damaged in my lowside from a Chinese company since the picture of it was the only one I could find to match.....so when it came it it wasn't the same design as the picture and now the website no longer exists....So...anyone know where I can find a full fairing kit for a reasonable price since it looks like I will need to replace at least the brake and clutch sides to match each other now?

    If it's your first bike... just use your rashed fairing. It'll go down some more.

    Always hit them......that way THEY pay for everything instead of you trying to convince your insurance company an unknown vehicle that wasn't involved in the accident is at fault.

    Yeah might have been better insurance wise but all things considered I would rather me and my bike slide across the asphalt for a little ways going 25 mph than slam into the side of a minivan at 25 mph.
