Hi All,
So after having my new fazer 600 for all of 5 minutes, the front wheel slipped at a petrol station, scrapping the hell out of the front fairing as it hit the deck.
Would any one know of anywhere to get a yellow fairing, either fixed or replaced? Or better still, have a spare lying around that they would part with for some cash?
James
Sorry to hear you've had a bad start with your fazer. Chin up at least you're ok.

Cheers Andy,
It could have been worse than just my pride being hurt after all!
Yes, I almost dropped mine not long after I got it by turning and braking on gravel. I should have known better as it's my gravel in front of the garage. Doh....
where are you located m8? i had an off which scraped the hell outta my nose cone and also cracked it. Managed to find someone that repaired it and also resprayed - cant tell that it was damaged.

I'm out near selby, north yorks. I hadn't thought of the repair route to be honest!

£45 for the repair and £70 for the respray.

Easy repair to do, I had a low speed of early this year. I bought a damaged nose cone of e bay ,then repaired it at my leasure . one thing that I had not anticipated was the clock mounts were damaged and also the large front fairing mount was slightly out of line. depends how handy you are but an easy operation if you do it in stages. I finally got the paint matched at a local motor factor around the whole job coat £50 max
