So I was approached today by a girl I know who asked if she could ride my bike I just got it 2 weeks ago and am a little leary about other people driving it but i was told that she's driven her ex's stunt bike a bunch and that she's a good driver so against my better judgment :hammer I said yes. So she starts it up and drives around the parking lot not 5 secs after starting out she dumps it while turning around... :suicide Luckily she was ok and the bike seemed ok mechanically. The shifter is bent (which I should be able to fix) the pegs on the handlebar and swingarm are scratched but should be ok with a little work so that isn't so bad. ok down to business the plastics on the left side (kickstand side) are pretty scratched up and the blinker and mirror are f'd (which I think I can get replacements for) so i'm going to try and get it fixed asap so I can get back to enjoying the summer and somehow make her pay for it since she's the one that dumped it...
What i'm looking for:
I'm looking at replacing all the plastics i've done some searching and checked out automarts.com and ebay and found nothing. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of how i can get new plastics. The reason I ask is because the bike was black purple and hot pink (I know I thought it brought out my eyes too) so I removed all the stickers so it was just black plastics other than the front headlight plastics and purple tank so I wanted to replace the front fairing? (Headlight plastics) so since the plastics are all scratched up I might as well look at getting all new (or slightly used) plastics.
Anyone have any ideas or recommendations? I'm sure i'm not the first person to wonder this but i've searched the threads and searched the net but came up with nothing so I thought i'd ask here. I don't know if newer plastics would work (i'm guessing no from what I can tell)
I was also thinking about full body vinyls just to cover up the scratches and most of the purple on the front plastic but i'm not sure if that would work either or if I can even get something for a bike that old.
Just let me know what your ideas are cause i've run out...
Sorry that was so long I didn't want to waste more time than needed going back and forth answering simple questions.
Thanks in advance!
