Hopefully it's all just body work. You could just buy a new set of fairings and turn signals and call it a day, or if you're quite the painter, have at it.

Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawasaki-ZX-250R-ZX250R-Ninja-08-09-Bodywork-Fairing-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a63ceb6b6QQitemZ250782594742QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPart sQ5fAccessories)

If it is the Diablo Black - I have been looking for a replacement set of used fairings in perfect condition for a long time. Best bet is repair for the easiest hit to the wallet - I would hate to get brand new ones and high-side (myself) again. Glad it wasn't worse.

First off, glad you are fine.

Fixing and painting yourself is the cheapest. However, if you want new OEM fairings, you're looking at hit. The main cowl and the rear one by the passenger seat will be about $550-600. Turn signals are about $20 a pop. Nothing else seems to have major damage...

Looks like you slid for a while. :(

If you feel like experimenting a bit...

I lowsided left, so my right front fairing is undamaged. As I don't really care what my bike looks like and as I will eventually customize the plastic parts anyway, I'd be willing to take your damaged front fairing as a trade-in.

I must say, for having gone down at 65 mph, your bike looks to be in pretty darn good shape! :thumbup:

Seriously!:thumbup:

What's a Vinja? Who makes that?

I'd honestly leave it. Not a big deal?

Was thinking the same thing. Replace the turn signal, and go to town!

Body injuries aside, let this screw up be a wake up call for how important frame sliders can be! Would have probably prevented most of your damage.

Is it just me, or does the rear wheel look out of alignment?
