Wow ok bit about my bike history lol

Always been a lover of 125's. Mainly as they are fun to chuck around. Spent about 15 years mixing different bikes until i landed on my r1. Its black. 2007.

Im more just a bike rider then have any knowledge on them at all.
Never drove a car as think spawn of satan.

Ride anytime in the year even if snow.

Bad news is had a newbie moment couple of weeks ago. Early hours of the morning and stopped as car in front stopped. It turned off and off i went not realising i was on a drain and was icey....

Next moment i woke up with my gear being cut off lol

sadly left side is no longer spotless at all so after getting quotes of £350 per panel i was hoping here would be good place for advice on a cheaper way to replace left side.
It adds up beyond reach based on their quotes lol

photo wise ill tale some when i can only photos i have atm are of the scrapes which breaks my heart haha

hopefully enough of a starting paragraph lol

[Redjj]

Great intro Tony - hope you get the bike sorted - if you can source orig. fairing panels thats best, ebay etc and getting the word on here too, but i appreciate it depends on budget. Can they be repaired?? Or beyond help

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

[jompy]

I'm with red , eBay will be your friend .

[R1 Faithful]

Ok ill keep an eye out on ebay and hope i get it right lol

And budget is lower mainly because as i said i woke up in ambulance with my gear cut off so dented my repair funds.....lol

but cheers for the help. Yell if anyone sees what im looking for before its fixed and ill try and do 2 sets of photos.

the untouched side and the damaged side lol though is heart breaking looking at it for me

Hi mate and welcome, you will find this a great site with some great guys on here.

We have all been there, as said ebay is your best place just replace the panels as they come up. Hope you are okay?

Gumtree is worth watching - i've just done a quick search and there are few on but not your bike model, but worth keeping an eye too.

It would be rea-eally helpful if we knew what your bike looked like...

...then we'd know what colour fairings you need



Have look on here... https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... 5573.m1684" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Based on pricing i may just go for a complete fairing. Fresh start and all that lol.

what experiences do people have with Auctmart.com?
Or is there a better place people have had good experiences with?
Asking before i commit to a place but so far auctmart have caught my eye the most

and im fine now. I came off worse then the bike but i can heal. My bike cannot lol

............. or use the Chinese fairings until you get original panels for a decent price.

As others have said if you want to sell the bike Chinese fairings won't help, but could be a good stop gap.

[R1 Faithful]

I do plan to keep the original fairing all wrapped up nice for the future.

Had considered selling the originals to cover all the costs but changed my mind.

but just need to find best place for an aftermarket job.

As said Auctmart seem good based on reviews but hearing from peoples experience with them will be the decider

Great minds !
See I was going to say Chinese fairings until I realised it was a 4c8 and the panels aren't as rare as the older R1's but for the price think the Chinese are a good idea .
There's a few people that had good experiences with Chinese fairings , off the top of my head booster was one and MarkYPVS is the other . both have threads in the projects section , marks was called triggers broom
