Aloha and welcome, Bre and Josh.
Josh, how about a picture DIY on fairing repair? It would help
a lot on this forum.

Bre... have fun with your "new" bike. You did well in choosing a used bike as your first... you'll see what I mean in the future.
Hope you both have fun in the forum and become regular members here.
