I never really introduced myself but I guess now is a good time. I live in New Jersey and I am 18 now (17 when I bought it :rockon. I bought the Fz6 from a guy in the military at the end of March 2011. Its a stealthy Black 2008 with only 200 miles on the odometer and i just hit 1,000 miles the other day!! Its finally broken in and so far I am loving it. Its the first bike I purchased but I have variations of motorcycles since I was 12.
The other day I came home from school yesterday and the conversation was
Dad; Did you hear about what happened to your bike?
Me; (heart skips a beat) What happened!?!
Dad; John(my brother) scratched your bike. :spank:
Me: I ran to the garage and looked at the bike.
There is a 3 inch scratch on the piece of plastic where the seat is. (refer to pictures) I was furious but I lucked out it was on the side quarter panel thing(anyone know what's it called?) Its better than the tank or engine getting scratched. He hit it by not paying attention and moving the bike before working out. He never worked out so it was only used by me so I felt it was safer than other places.
My question is:
1) Whats the part called?
2) What is cheaper a new painted piece from a Yamaha dealership or get this one repainted?
It doesn't look to bad in the pictures but its like 3 inches long an really bothers me. I bought the bike because it had no scratches on it.
I put some pictures up of the scratch and one of when I still had my prom tuxedo and I took some pictures with the bike.
