Crash rebuild

So I started my list of things to buy/repair after my little accident yesterday afternoon.

Tire - self explanatory
Clutch lever - " " "
Minor bits here and there -universal blinkers and marker lights ect.


speedo - question here is if it is still operational has anyone ever just re-glassed the face of the speedo? I would like to hang onto my speedo if I could

Front upper fairing - I had an RC51 HRC kit on the bike thankfully I had the lower fairing off. Upper fairing shot. only replacement I could find was 400 bucks unpainted or prepped. Anyone know where I could find a cheaper alternative? Don't need the same brand or it to match up with the lower fairing but all the wires and headlight stuff is set for that type of endurance fairing.

Other question is I see on flea bay those fairing kits are fairly cheap but i would have to get a headlight and bolts ect. would this be a cheaper alternative?

You could just replace the cover to the gauges if that's all that is damaged.

These are really cheap and you could swap the face...

Or you could throw an offer at this guy...also be sure to let him know partzilla only gets $71 for a brand new one so I'm not sure what makes this one so special...

I purchased a new OEM cover a few months back when Ronayers was having a big % off sale.

5 min to swap covers and I had a like new looking gauge set.
