Should have all the parts in the next 2 weeks (come on insurance check) and need someplace to spray them.
Suggestions?

Any decent body shop should be able to do it....most car bumpers come from the factory are plastic and unpainted and they paint them just fine.

I may have a guy in NM who can do it for me dirt cheap...just gotta head to NM for a weekend.
Thinking yellow now...bright ass bumble bee yellow...think just one car might be able to see me?

Well I am going to just bite the bullet and buy a complete set of ready to go primered fairings off ebay tonight. Complete set of fairings is HALF of what the OEM upper fairing cost.
Just need to find someone to spray them. I am not in the mood to ride to NM, wait for them to paint it and ride back getting rock chips in my nice new custom paint job.
Oh and I decided on some shade of blue...since I just bought a new blue and grey helmet and blue joe rocket jacket. I gotta order my exhaust soon cause the busted up one sonds like ass and has a nice backfire to it now :mad:
Insurance did me up right and it only took them 2 days to accept the claim and get me a check from Wisconsin.

Watch those aftermarket ones...alot of them dont fit worth a damn and need some serious modification to make them fit even halfway properly. Make sure you do a full install and do any cutting or drilling before you have it painted!!

Yeah, will be doing a fitment and cutting for the frame sliders before paint. Have a guy local who is going to spray them for me.
