Any reviews on this?

I dropped my bike this mourning, Mirror, Peg, and Tail fairing shattered.

Mirrors are on order, Pegs are on,

The guy at Mean Customs says he can make the tail look new for 150. Ive seen some on his work, looked very clean, just want some reviews. He said he can fill the cracks and then paint it to look brand new again.

Id buy a new one, but its around 500 NEW. :suicide:

Very stupid mistake, but its still ride able, just a shattered tail, and only 1 mirror until Tuesday.

02 gsxr telefonica.

700 a piece for fairings, CAUSE of stickers!

The tail, when I bought it, was dumped and the tail didnt have stickers anyways. So its just the solid blue.

Its not terrible, but noticeable, A hole probably quarter ($0.25) size, then various cracks probably 4-5 inches long surrounding it. Right in between the two seats. The stator cover has some chips in it, but thankfully didn’t go all the way through. (I think its the stator cover? Left side)

Mirror completely shattered and flew a good 10 feet. Peg just broke in half.

Im not taking pictures, makes me sick every time I look at it. Oh well at least I wasn’t going 50, can fix a bike, sometimes not people.

Youre a new rider correct?

If so, only replace the shit that has to be replaced in order to ride legally.

Because you will be doing more stupid shit, this year that causes minor damage to your bike.

Treat this bike as like a starter bike that you are going to sell to another beginner after your skill has improved and you’ve moved on to another bike.

I was going to get the turbo busa, but it was a little to small for me

Lesson Learned: Don’t start bike on incline and go close the gate 5 feet away.

Wait, how new of a rider are you?

Your first bike is a liter?

You were thinking of getting a Busa as your first?
