Hi, I'm from Vancouver, BC and have a red R3. I got into a little accident last month where the guy braked hard in front of me and I rammed into him :( Looking for the following so that I may get my bike up and running soon!

- Headlight assembly
- Fork assembly
- Right rear set
- cowling
- front fender

Let me know if you have any of these you're trying to get off your hands!
Thank you! :)

You aren't the only one to have this happen. Few years back, same deal....managed to get the bike stopped (with an unintentional stoppie) - saved the bike, but sacrificed my body in the process. Damage caused by me (head first):

I have a red fender if you want it. It's got a lot of light scratches, but I can't get them to show up on camera. It's scuffed a bit right next to the Yamaha sticker. $15 + shipping if you want it.

haha that's terrible, ya I did an unintentional stoppie too but thank goodness i didn't go through the back. It was a work van and only dinged the bumper and a few scratches, my bike took most of the damage... I'm lucky I managed to land quite gently. Was sore for the following two days but nothing major :)

Hmm. Yeah, that PM/post limit thing is a bit of a challenge. How are the new people (like me) supposed to get anything done around here?

Because we had a spam issue a while back and the 15 post thing cut down on spammers considerably. Better to have a few people whine about having to do an entire 15 posts than a bunch a people complain about the spam.

It really isn't much of a challenge.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you via email. I am really bad about that. I will check to see what I have that you are looking for. Biggest problem is shipping to Canada is a killer. Especially with anything that is big like headlights.

I did sell my headlights. I will check to see what rearset I have left.

What cowling are you looking for?

I understand the spammer/scammer rules or limits. Too bad it's necessary.

Janice, have you checked the prices for the parts you need at places like yocracing.com (Yamaha of Cucamonga) or tmsparts.com (Temecula Motorsports)? I bought a fair amount through both of those dealers when I rebuilt my bike. Saved quite a bit compared to what the local dealer was charging. YOC was cheaper than TMS up until a few weeks ago, then they updated their online pricing. They are still way lower than my local dealer, but TMS is cheaper for a while - at least until they update their website. Parts took about 1.5-2 weeks after order to arrive. Signature is required at delivery, so be prepared or ship them to your work address if you can.

no, I haven't checked those two but i'm in canada so it gets more expensive to ship it out here. I've mainly been looking on the forum and ebay.

I checked out your fb page and I like what you did to your bike, did you get that custom painted or where'd you get those fairings from?
