the fairings came up a while back ....it was a typo on one of the supplier sites that was saying a few hundred quid and it had been putting folk off for years only for it to be recently discovered they were actually much cheaper.....would have had one on my 600 if id realised at the time.
Fairings did used to be £450-500 odd, however they came down to a lot around 1.5 years ago. FWIW didn't realise the decals have come down in price too. Last time I checked they were about £35 each side.
With regards to writing off, they won't normally do this unless the damage is more than 60% of the bikes value. However, by arguing the bikes value a bit, and giving them a dump of autotrader prices of Fazer's, you can usually negotiate the value up to something respectable. For current claim, they've got my '03 FZS600 down as worth £2200. They're still Cat-D'ing it, with a buy back price of £550.
