Yep, repair price sounds about right. I presume that includes a respray after repair?However, I just replace a 2003 fox eye fairing on mine, paid £180 for genuine one, full painted. The older square eye fair is a spot more, £210-220 ish. Note that doesn't include stickers or front badge. Pair of stickers come in at the bargain price of £70... Now, TBH, that's still a pretty good deal, Yammy used to charge £450 odd for the front cowling until last month! A knock off fibre glass fairing will cost you about £120. However a decent spray job on that will set you back a further £100 odd.If you decide to street fighter the bike and lose the fairing, you're gonna have to fork out some cash for replacement headlights and a tidier mount for clocks etc. Probably ain't gonna work out much cheaper TBH.So, ultimately the best/cheapest plan is to phone your local Yammy dealer and order a new fairing sprayed to match. Then swap it over yourself (dead easy, 1-2 hr job).
Hi Arfa - where did you buy your painted fox-eye fairing ? I need one. As I work for a graphics company I'll see what our boys can do to replicate the stickers.Cheers.
are these prices for real....im in the process of repairing mine....but if they come painted for that money il be visiting my local yam stealer to get a new one..
I am a plastic welder as well as a mechanic and by that I mean proper plastic welding and not a cowboy with a soldering iron. I normally charge £40 for a weld and then £60 per panel to paint. I don't use glue or fibreglass because IMHO neither are a permanent repair.This is a thou fairing that was split out from the headlight and then crack from the top corner of the light that I repaired, this picture was taken prior to paint, once painted the repair will be completely invisible and just as strong as the original fairing ever was.
Are people really paying £70 or more for some stickers with 'Fazer' on them? Seriously?

I thought the world was going mad! Can't see what purpose they serve anyway - it's not like I need reminding what bike I've got!
