I need to replace the front fairing on my 03 foxeye. Thanks to previous ebay links, now found one for £126.50 (cheers guys). Have been quoted £160 to get it sprayed, and an hour's labour to fit it £54 inc vat. Total £340.50. Ouch. Might have a go at fitting myself though - looks reasonably straight forward in the Haynes manual. Only issue is that the subframe will need straightening out as it's a bit buckled but I'm hoping it will just be a case of a few taps with a hammer. Any advice on this would be welcome!
Was also quoted £280 for plastic weld & spray but bike shop advised that the plastic could be weak & may split again, so a new one for an extra £6.50 is a no brainer.
Does anyone think £160 for spraying is a bit steep? It's metallic silver with a speckle-effect - not sure if that makes it difficult/expensive to mix.
