I don't mind the look without the side fairings much but I feel like it would look cleaner if they were there for obvious reasons. The rear seat needs to be replaced with an oem one because 1 of the 2 po's decided that a cheap leather cover and unevenly cut foam would apparently look better than stock (whoever it was obviously wasn't smart). So far I plan on buying the following:
1) new rear seat (probably $30-$40 at most)
2) side fairings (roughly $150 each in good condition)
3) possibly a new right rearset (since the crack in the current one doesn't seem fixable) ($50-$70)
4) maybe some better looking rear fairings (looks like someone performed the worst rattle can job ever lol) (hopefully not much more than $30-$40)
5) fairing bolts if none come with the fairings I buy. (who cares about the cost; it's to little to worry about $10)
So hopefully I can keep the repair bill below or around $460  |
I have the following being shipped to me atm:
-slightly used right rearset $35 shipped
-used rear seat $37 shipped
-new mirrors $27 shipped
I expect the side fairings to cost the highest of all the repairs but finding one used for a decent price is hard enough; finding one the correct color, used and in good condition seems near impossible.

The bike isn't as clean as the pics make it seem (up close you can notice a few imperfections but nothing really major), but I like to think it was still a great deal; thanks.
