redbrd, if you can wait it out maybe you should look into the "new" KLX250s headlight, looks pretty cool.
At looking at this post again my stomach still hurts. Maybe I ate at the Carl's JR. Stellar did?!

Man that's almost sad to look at, but I'm really glad to hear it didn't involve injuries orf loss of life on anyones part.
Look at the bright side...as long as your frame is still ok, this is a golden opportunity to get allof the lastest mods and maybe even be a pioneer with something, as you did with the Pro Circuit pipe. Can't wait to see whatyou replace the instrumentsand headlight with.
The Zeta hand gaurds with the built-inflasher are looking pretty darnsweet right now too

As mentioned before, parts can repainted and fixed. Body's don't fix so easily.
When some dumba$$ ploughs into my car or a friends, the first thing I always ask is if anyone is hurt. The first ever new car I bought was a Nissan Pickup. I had owned it about 3 weeks when an hourly late to punch in was doing 35MPH over the posted limit on a rain slick road. The road went under an overpass that merged in front of me. That idiot locked his brakes up and tried to put me in low Earth orbit.
Funny thing was, after I recovered and looked at my pickup. New paint peeled right away from the body parts so it didn't look damaged until you saw it from a different angle and saw the crumpled metal and detached paint hanging down where the metal used to be.
