2005 Right Fairing Upper and "D" Panel

[Twigg]

Okay, okay ... I need to learn how to park because watching your motorcycle fall over, only four hours into a 32 hour rally is just no fun at all.

The result of that small mishap is a broken Right hand upper fairing panel, and Inner Panel 4 ... the black inner we refer to as Panel D in the removal instructions.

Bike is an '05, Galaxy Blue.

If anyone has spares at a cost a pauper can afford, I'll take them. Otherwise I'll save up and buy new, they aren't too painfully priced

Thanks.

If the D panel is just a broken tab, I have repaired that with ABS cement. Good luck with the main panel. I had a drop with less consequences a couple years back, and my ego is still bruised more than the paint.

I'm less concerned with the D Panel. It is a bad crack on the inner face that you can't see. It is ABS, so I can repair it simply with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK).

The other fairing panel is $131 from boats.net. I could repair that too, and I may temporarily, but it has a piece of plastic missing in a highly visible place, and a full repair would be tricky to hide. It's not too much money so I'll probably end up buying a new one.
