Thanks for getting back so quickly!
A crash like this, and a list of parts this big, gives you a lot of options to change stock stuff out for better items since you are replacing them anyways. Is there anything that is damaged that you want a possibly better aftermarket item to replace it instead of the stock item?
That's what I want to do for any aftermarket products that I like that are the same or less in price. I didn't wreck the bike, and I'm not paying for it, so I have to stick to same-price replacements. If you have suggestions on aftermarket products that fit this criterion, please feel free give me your input.
Do you want 1125R mirrors with signals? They fit with a little more work for the wiring and function better in all ways, also eliminates need for front turn signals. The '04 and later mirrors will also fit with the longer arms for better function.
Again, they just cost so much more. How much are the signals? If they price is close, I'll go for it. I can get an integrated LED board for the rear, so I can use the mirrors to pretty much eliminate all four signals. Otherwise I do definately want the '04 and later mirrors...these shorties I have now only show a good view of my shoulders.
I will be getting the airbox cover from a 07 XB12R to get the vent in the front like you want. It will have blue decals on it? Is this going to be a problem? Will you want the matching windscreen, front fairing, and tail section stickers to match?
Whatever parts that come blank, leave it be, if it has decals, don't worry with the color...I'm just going to pull them off anyway. I hate decals. The factory windscreen is cool, but I would prefer solid black...I get some pretty heavy wind turbulence around 80 mph, but it's not because of the screen...I have huge shoulders and wear an XXL helmet...setting a $30 pumpkin on top of a motorcycle doesn't increase aerodynamics...at all .
Also, I like the look you get by taking off the belt gaurds...is it 'very' dangerous to ride without them? I do ride with a passenger quite often (that's not going to be a promlem soon, when I get my bike out of the shop, I'm buying her a new 250R ninja, taking it home, and tearing it to pieces...gonna make a sick little street fighter!) So, if not using the belts gaurds isn't that big of a deal, don't worry with it.
The right switch housing only comes as an assembly.
However it has to be done, that's fine.
I like the larger Traction grips personally. Would you want those or just stockers?
I had those, and I'll go with those again...they were pretty comfy.
Is any of the hardware, that holds any of this stuf on damaged? Just about everything I order DOES NOT come with and hardware to mount it, unless it is an accessory.
The only hardware I need is the screws that hold the windscreen down, everything else is still on snug...just scuffs and scratched.
A note on the paint...I need it for the swing arm. There aren't any deep cuts, just looks someone shot balls of steel wool at it with a potato cannon...I'm guess such slight scratches can probably be buffed out with time and compound? If not, I can't get a paint guy I know to sand it a little and blend the touch-up paint in on that side.
Also, if the heated grips are super expensive, it's not a big deal...the coldest weather I rode in this winter was about 45 degrees, but I live in a hilly area with lots of creeks and rivers, and the temperature drops about twenty degrees when you get within a mile of that area...that's a use-the-header-as-a-fireplace-at-the-next-stop-sign moment.[cool]
If you can't order the parts easily and efficiently for you and for me, don't worry about it, just the part numbers would be GREATLY appreciated...I can drive to Gastonia to pick up the order...I just don't want to. And I don't really like the guys at that shop. Before I bought my bike, I went shopping there...as soon as I walked in the door, two salesmen swooped in for the kill. After we talked for a minute or two, the question of what I was looking for came up. When I said the word "Buell," the guy handed me his business card and told me to find him if I needed anything else, and "good day". I had to get the head of the rider's edge program to answer some questions about the 9R that had in stock..and that was after search the entire store for a human with some sort of education.
