Need to borrow/rent fairing for GSXR750 91!!!!

[TheGreatOne]

:cry: Behold my sad story. Coming down into turn at 80km/h Mr Skippy :twisted: decides to say hello from viisting his friend up the road and jumped from behind a wall. I braked and swerved to go up pathway but missed and hit kerb. Bike landed on its side and right front.

It gets worse. 3-4 minutes before this happened i was thinking to myself to go in tomorrow and get insurance. Unfortunatly skippy :twisted: had other plans.

Now I need to find someone 8) with middle front right hand side fairing and front of bike fairing for 1991 GSXR750 Orginal Colour (Blue and White). I would even be willing to rent these two parts and I only need it for 1/2 hour. Then I can go and full insure my bike and in the future if anything happens i am in the clear.

The damage is only cosmetic and even then not noticable from afar. The bike is perfectly fine.


WHO CAN HELP ME????? :?:

hope this isn't a stupid question but...

do the insurance companies inspect your bike before insuring it? I thought it was all done over the phone?

I just had a pretty nasty prang last night and I was hoping I could insure it, wait a couple months and claim?

aLFa, yeh they do. They ask you to go to one of their agents ( a bike shop usually) so that they can inspect befor they will insure.

Its to stop people doing exactly wot you have just mentioned u wana do.

Best bet would be to find someone with the same bike as you and stick their fairing on, go get it inspected and then give them their fairing back.

Insurance companies differ.

Saying this i have found the cheapest for me to be Swann Insurance. However they inspect the bike before insurance. Others such as RAC don't inspect the bike and insure over the phone.

To give you an idea. Western QBE told me ~1100 for full insurance. RAC close to $800. Swann was told $536 full insurance.

As u can see Swann is cheaper by far but also has catches. Lump sum payment of insurance no monthly etc, preinsurance inspection, and if insurance renewal lapses they may refuse u insurance.

Now that thats that.
How where etc can i get these fairings I NEED HELP.

Was told a repair bill of $1300. This is a lot at the moment.
