I just laid my fz6 down, my second day riding... broke my leg, bikes fine but has a scraped front fairing, scraped tank, and scraped rear fairing behind the seat. Any ideas on where to get these parts replaced??
Where to get a fairing?

You might want to repost this in the fz6 area instead of the fz6r. Also you can check on e-bay, and the stealership

That really sucks. 2nd day ever of riding or just new bike? As for where to get a new fairing try ebay or look around different MC forums for people selling parts, though it seems a fairing for a new bike may be hard to come by unless you find someone who wanted to make thier FZ6 a completely naked bike. Anyways good luck and heal well.

It was my second day ever riding. I'll go out to it today and take some pictures. Considering that it slid 75 feet im glad it held up as well as it did. I was looking forward to riding today, but i guess i wont be for at least six weeks.

I just checked out Ron Ayers, they dont appear to have parts for FZ6's newer than 2006

Sorry that you fell, got injuried and scratched the bike. How did it occur? Any lessions we could learn?
As I was riding away from the dealership after taking delivery, a couple of guys watching said to be careful until the 'slick stuff' wears off the sides of the tires so as not to slide when cornering as three of their friends had this occur right after taking delivery of their sportbikes.
After riding a few times I could see the slick shiney rubber/protective sheen wear off up the sides of the tires.

Sorry to hear about your accident! Hopefully, you'll be up and running in short order! New tires are always sketchy until you get the shiny stuff worn off.
You mentioned it being only your second day of riding ever. Have you considered getting yourself enrolled in a MSF course? That class will go a long way towards equipping you with the knowledge and skills you need to move forward. Not too mention, it generally helps with insurance rates.

Again, check ronayers.com where you found the fairing. They have an online microfiche with basically every part from the FZ6.

You can buy just about every OEM part from ronayers.
I've spent well over a thousand dollars through them for oem parts.

They seem to have everything but a brake lever, any ideas where to get one cheap? Not many hits on ebay. And it broke at the hinge so i need that piece too.

this page should have what you need for the front brake. i just learned about this site today. could try posting in the wanted section in case someone swapped theirs out and has a spare. not much for this bike on ebay.

SUCKERS!
Ok, seriously, WTF? We want to know how you crashed so bad on your second day of riding. Bad enough to break a leg and send the bike 75 feet away. I've seen other riders crash and slide into guard rails without breaking a leg. How fast were you going? Did you hit gravel? Screw up a wheelie? Again, WTF? Inquiring minds want to know!
