Kawasaki has limited stock of pre 2007 fairings and parts.

What color is your bike? I have a full set of lime green plastics hanging in the garage.

Based on the age of your bike and the damage they will probably total it. It's only a $2,000 bike. The upper Cowling Assembly is $754, if they have it in stock. If your Muzzy exhaust is $500 you are already over half the value of your bike and that's just parts, no labor to install them.

Depending on your state laws, even if they can find the parts to fix it you may end up with a salvage title.

In short, I'd be surprised if they fix your bike, they will probably offer you a payoff to total it. In which case you may be able to take a reduced payoff and keep the bike.
