Had an motorcycle accident?


I recently had a motorcycle accident and luckily i suffered no more than a grazed bottom and a kick tot he ego.

however my bike was not so lucky the front fairing was smashed to bits and the right hand fairing was cracked and some small outer pieces broken off. also the headlights while still working the connectors that mount it on to the front fairing to keep it in place have snapped so they will probably need replacing aswell.

can anyone tell me how much this will cost to repair and also if there is a cheaper alternative.

the bike in question is a kawazaki zx6r j1

firstly its the bike not you that needs fixing thats a bonus in itself,... get ringing round breakers yards for the bits you need it will be cheaper than buying new.
you could streetfighter it or part exchange it and down grade to a harley

I don't think there would be cheaper alterative i would just buy a whole new motorcycle. good luck

get aftermarket race plastics... instead of spending $2,000 and up, you can get a whole kit for $500 plus paint. Go to your dealer and ask them about after market race plastic... oh, you may have to install your own aftermarket blinkers too but thats easy and you can have your choice from a bunch of different kinds..

I'd just count my losses and step up to a Harley!
