Hello,
An Adolescent deer ran into me recently on my 2008 FJR and luckily I didn't go down. However, it cracked my left fairing, headlights and housing and front fairing. Bike runs fine though. The dealer said it would run just under $5000 to replace the left fairing, front fairing and headlights (he said the windshield motor would need to be replaced, however it still works just makes a slight noise).That's roughly how much I paid for the bike 9 months ago (no collision insurance).
So I am looking into how feasible would it be for me to find aftermarket replacement parts and install them myself. I am a novice when it comes to mechanical stuff on motorcycles.
Where are good places to look for replacement parts (other than eBay)? Any other parts should I look for that are not obvious? (I've heard they don't make the headlight bezels for 08 headlights anymore).
Any good how to videos?
Any advice is much appreciated!
