Reckless fairing blues

nomadwest · 05-28-2011, 01:48 PM

I got the call to pick up my fairing from the painter yesterday. Went to pick it up and and my painter came out to meet me with disastrous news. He had put it out in the sun for me to see and help with the curing time. A freak wind storm came out of nowhere, blew the fairing off the horses and it sustained several chipped places surrounded by a near perfect candy red paint match. Unbelieveable. He is now got it stripped down again and starting over. The worst part is now I have to wait another week. I did get to take the inner black satin fairing home to start mounting the stereo. pictures coming.

That sucks! I hate getting expectations high and being shot down. Hopefully you'll get it back soon. Good luck. Sharp looking bike!
