I recently dropped my EX500 and smashed my front fairing to hell, headlight is loose, theres a huge chunk missing on the right side, all that great stuff, anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew of a place where I could get one for less then the $675 + shipping on bikebandit.com? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! This is a great site btw, love it!

 

E-bay is probably your best bet.

good luck!

 

I agree with ERAU944. E-bay is probably the best way to go. You may still have to do some minor cosmetic work to it though. Good Luck.

 

thats the one reply i was hoping i wouldnt get, im banned from ebay because of some idiot person claiming they never recieved their item even tho i shipped it to the correct address and such, i should have got them to sign for it just in case, o well, any other ideas would be appreciated. thanks for the replies.

 

Can't you just get another yahoo or gmail account and register under a new name?

 

try http://www.ronayers.com/ heard good things about but never tried. seems to be lowest price on factory parts I've seen. $550ish I looked at thembut I think I will try to patch it up first.

 

Don't be too disappointed about Ebay exclusion. There is almost always a high-demand for fairings on Ebay, so you might save a hundred bucks, but you're still taking a greater risk that it is damaged, or will be damaged in the shipping. It will always be a seller's market for fairings, because these things (and rearview mirrors) are so easily damaged in a minor tipover. And I chuckle at these pseudo-street-fighters--"Bummer about the tipover, dude."
If you can't superglue/plastic-weld the crack, Ron Ayers and Bike Bandit can't beat your local dealership, and you don't want to go through the hassle of getting an aftermarket fairing painted the correct color, you might as well just get the OEM from your dealership. I promise not to laugh if you turn it into a streetfighter. (Heh--I'm in no position to laugh.)

 

the couple items I asked about my local dealer has quoted me aboutbikebandit.com prices. some where I was told thats about listprice ronayers is oem parts for about 20% less than list and north idaho doesn't have many dealers to chose from

 

I also recommend checking out your local Craigslist to see if anyone is parting out their bikes....
You can repair your fairings with expoxy or bondo... not gonna look pretty for a while but it'll take care of structural integrity. That's what I plan on doing for my 250 until I can afford fresh fairings.

 

lol, seems like my luck isnt the best nowadays, i found one on ebay for 250 bucks unpainted but drilled which is fine, paycheck was supposed to come in on saturday (today) but it was delayed by fedex, so now it wont come in until tuesday, i hope that fairing is still there when i get the check.
