In reviewing the posts here I was anticipating an 8-10 week wait for painted parts from the factory. I damaged the lower fairing cap and front fender (as well as the crash bar and rotor) when I hit a dog on Thursday, April 22. Although the front rotor was visibly skewed I still had sufficient braking to continue a planned weekend jaunt to Boise. I was able to replace the rotor in Boise but waited untill I got back to Yakima to take the bike into the dealer and get the parts coming. I ordered the parts on Tuesday, April 26 and when I went by the shop yesterday (May 4th) I was told the fender had arrived. I thought , oh well, maybe they had the fender in stock but the fairing cap is likely another story. I got a message today saying everything was here and when did I want the parts installed. One week and 2 days and I had not even hoped to have the parts prior to leaving on a 2 1/2 week trip in late May. Not bad!!
Incidently, I have Foremost Ins. and they authorized a check (less $500.00 deductible) the day the adjuster received the repair estimate. I expected some waffling about the new front fender ($873.00) but they didn't even ask about it. I'll get eveything installed next week but for now my wife and I are heading over Lolo pass to Missoula (weather permitting) for a 3 day riding weekend. Sure is great being your own boss.
