Sen10nalz Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Got into a little fender bender today, Lady Driving a Jeep hit the brakes on me on the freeway. I was just thinking when i walked outside this morning how there was alot more morning dew than usual. I even ran my foot on the ground at a stop to see if it was any slippier than normal. seems like it was..No major injury to myself, other than a sprained left foot/ankle.However my zx looks pretty hurt, my wallet will be hurt later from parts and the er. and my pride suffered some injury as well. :mrgreen:I do not feel like turning this into insurance. Its already expensive enough at $170 per month.. Im looking at these ebay complete fairing packages, they run about 5 to 7 hundred. But i dont want something thats not reliable and looks cheap. Do you guys have any suggestion on where i can get some good quality replacement parts/fairings. My footpeg also broke off, and my side mirror.Is there a bike mechanic you guys can recommend so i can have her checked out, to make sure everything is still straight and in good order. I was able to ride it home and did not feel any vibrations, and there were no fluid leaks.Thanks a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOW Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Nice to hear that you were able to ride away. and here I've been bitching about my rates jumping up to $50/month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew95gt Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Glad you are ok, I have heard mixed reviews about those fairings on Ebay (the ones from China) maybe you can find a set of take-offs from someone making a track bike. Unless your driving record is terrible I would shop around for a better price on your insurance bro, sounds like they are putting it to you. I know I don't ride a SS bike but my full coverage is like 22/month for my Z750 through State Farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 $170 a month?! Wow. I think it's time you start shopping around. I paid $200 for the year for full coverage on my first bike...although it was a Ninja EX500, and I was over 25 years old. Still, $170 a month is a bit much.

MidgetTodd Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I only pay 62 a month for my 1000rr and Sumo both, time to shop around. I suggest State Farm. You could also just sell it to me and not have to worry about fixing it or the ins money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 its fine, not nearly as bad as sen10's. i have some damage to the footpeg and few scratches here and there on the right side We had pretty much the same thing happen. Dude in front of me stopped unexpectedly but my front end wobbled out from under me. I fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to be on the left lane when that happened, I braked.. lost traction and the rest was history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
