After I hit a deer this last Summer, I was able to get everything all fixed up, broken parts replaced and/or repainted etc. The fairing frame (front) was bent and we were able to straighten it out somewhat but not perfect. This resulted in a tremendous amount of flexing, bending, exertion to remount the side panels and now I notice it seems to be noticeably crooked (to me) but the casual observer would not notice it at all. Luckily I found a brand new replacement frame on Ebay for $180 (regular cost is $400+) which is now sitting in my garage. I am waiting for a little warmer weather to work on it and am also a little squeamish about taking the bike all apart again, especially completely removing the old bent frame. I just wondered if anyone else has done this project and if youwould help me avoid any pitfalls. :kiss I've found that it helps to avoid stupid mistakes on my part if I first learn of stupid mistakes that others have made before me!:banghead
