Headlight fairing replacement!

Doing some tidying of the bike today, had to move it to create some room, put kick the stand down got off stepped back, it seems the surface wasnt stable, i watched in horror as bike slid down the wall.

A few teers later (i felt like it anyway) i surveyed the damage:
1. Screen smashed,
2. Tank scuffed,
3. Mirror fired off and
4. Corner of fairing on left hand side snapped off, just next to mirror, its snapped like a triangle.

I think i need to replace the fairing, unless anyone can suggest anything else?
Where can i get replacement road fairings from? on the net i am able to find race ones but not road.
Does anyone know of any decent breakers and anyone breaking?

My bike is a 2003 S in Blue, i think the colour code is YC2.

Any help appreciated.

Think I might have a standard screen if you want it - let me know and I'll have a look, only want postage for it...

i think its gonna be the case of keeping an eye on ebay and here mate for the fairing, just plastic weld or fibreglass the triange back on and tidy it up so its liveable for a while

Thats my plan for the weekend, lookally its a bank holiday got another day if i make a mess of it.

cant really do much damage mate, as long as the triangle goes in straight,

the good thing with plastic is you can always sand it back and start again

ahhh thats grim mate

here is a good breakers, http://www.svspares.com/ apart from that i cant be any more help just keep an eye on the for sale bit of this forum and ebay

Found a guy locally who specialises in motorcyle body work repairs, going to take the bike to him on Saturday to get a price for the dent / scuff repair and he also does plastic welding so going to see what he can do and how much it'll cost for the total job. Fingers crossed.

sounds good mate think it will still cost rather a lot, but if he can do the lot then allround

Went to see a fella today for a price to fix all! just over £400, ouch! i thought.
Having had a long chat with him its the dent and scuff on the tank thats going to cost the most.

He seems pretty genuine, i decided to test his work, so going to let him repair and repaint front fairing, including him removing and rebuilding it.
£100 i didn't think that was to bad, i may be shot down down by others in the trade though.
