I've got a front fairing stay that is badly bent/cracked. Tried pulling it back myself but it's just not happening.

Since it's from a greybike FZR 400 it is literally impossible to find a replacement.

I was thinking of getting a bodyshop to try and fix it. Wondering if anyone can recommend a shop in the lower mainland that's good for this sort of thing.

Thanks

Believe me I've tried that. I have a Jap import bike, the fairing stay is completely different than that one. That's off a 1WG, the one that was sold in North America. I have learned much about FZR's, unfortunately AFTER buying it. The one I have (a 3EN2) was only made for 1 year, and not sold in North America.

I figured I'm a good enough rider not to drop it or lay it down, so I wouldn't run into the problem of looking for parts like this. Couldn't have predicted that F'ing deer running out in front of me either.

I will NEVER buy another greybike but this one's got to get me through school until I can afford something better.

tell you the truth, if you have a total love for the bike, then go to a local ship for assistant and MAYBE they can help but sad to say, maybe it's time to retire the bike.

Borderline will definitely be able to fix that.

Thanks for the replies.

I may have found one for a decent price.

If not I'm going to try Borderline for sure.

I'm a student right now and can't really afford to get another bike. I do like this bike I've got to admit, it's been great to learn on, but mainly I need a working bike as commuting to UBC by motorcycle is the best way to do it. I can park right next to my building for ~200/year as opposed to ~800/year for a cage.

Not to mention getting there is either a: 25 minute motorcycle ride, 45 minute bicycle ride + ~15 minute shower, or a 35 minute cage drive (traffic lineups apply to cages i.e. no filtering at busy intersections) + 2 km walk from the parking lots, or the worst option is the hour long bus ride. That's just too damn painful.

So I will retire it in ~2 more years or if my dreams all come true, drop the 600 motor in it and make it a track bike, while I get a brand new F4i...ahhh dreams.
