O.k. I haven't ridden for almost 10 years. My last bike was a 76 honda cb400ss. The 400 4 cylinder is a: not super and b: not sporty BUT anyway.......I bought a 2001 EX 500 R. I promptly laid it down in the Applebees parking lot and 2 weeks later in a curve because I got tunnel vision on the guard rail. Lucky me I was not injured (other than my pride and my wallet for the repairs)
MY QUESTION IS: Where do I get parts like below and the replacement decals. I know I can get them from the dealer but a: they will be the most expensive place to get 'em and b: I will be taking another dive on the pride front because I will have to dmit that I am one of the downed. I broke and or scratched the following....top fairing near the headlight (small piece broke out & scratching)... lower fairing decal and minor scratching...both front forks (scratched I can live with or cover with reflective tape)...clutch lever (broke off end knob)...bar ends (scratched)...and "engine" case on right side (not sure what it is called but the round thing that says kawasaki and the round thing that the radiator hoses go into and out of). And where do I get a mechanics manual to lear to fix it?
.....P.S. this is a great site I appriciate all of you and your help...wish this was here 10 years ago I prob. wouldn't have quit riding.
