Hello all! 

 

A very unfortunate thing has happened. During a rainy ride home in NYC I rode over a manhole (for some reason also covered in oil) rear wheel spun out and I fell to my right side. My Gen 5 VFR has been through everything, I'd thought so. Engine swaps, electrical issues, cooling issues, forks, rotten pipes, etc. But I never thought I'd need fairings. Yet here we are... I am honestly heartbroken, since day 1 I've been trying to bring it back to it's former glory. And now this..

 

The right side fairing, the head cone and right side blinker have slid down the pavement and man..did it leave a mark. I'm in search of these 3 items. I can't even find a blinker! Anyone here doing a part out or have them for sale? I don't need pristine parts..but alteast better looking than what I have now. I'd greatly appreciate it. 

 

Thank you very much for reading and listening!

You can find aftermarket replacement signals on eBay, original orange, clear or even smoked.

I had an unfortunate tip over while parked on a slope several months ago and had to order a right OEM front turn signal.  Unfortunately when I checked that site they had no R front turn signal covers.  This international site, however did.

If you can't find one I have a slightly scratched one that is in pretty good shape.  It could be buffed out and no one would know it had been scratched.

Sorry to hear about the crash.  I dropped my 5th gen yesterday myself, also parked on an incline. 😡 Did my back in trying to lift it, lol.

 

As others have mentioned, try ebay.  I have used wemoto for parts too, they are great to use, quick shipping.  Sorry I cant be of more help.

Ha, same guy here who commented on your FB post. In the same boat for finding fairings but I got some clear aftermarket side markers off Ali Express for $37. Then got some money back since the bulbs don't quite click in properly - they still hold but small chance they could pop out. They are also missing the alignment tabs for the OE mounts - for me, good enough as a 5-footer (that's the goal of my bike as a daily rider... original fairings are on the wall of my living room because I'm worried what happened to you could happen to me)
