Spring is here, or?

After last year's last trackday's spill, I've let the bike do some recovering by it's own in the garage. But after inspection yesterday, I realised it needs a bit help from me as well, to heal.

I am keen on having original parts for some future restoration, either I'll repair the stuff I have, but I'd prefer to get my hands on unscuffed parts. I want to have a trackday set for future spills , so either I fix my current parts for original looks and get a trackday set, or I am lucky and find a better set for storing, keeping my parts for trackday use.

Some parts that I need:

Engine oil pump cover, silver
SZR660 mirror, RH
Front fairing, preferably red, but important is that it's in good condition
Might lay my hands on RH rear plastic as well
RH front indicator

Info that I need:
What colour code is the '96 red (I guess it differs from the red/black from '97)

Original chunky indicators?? I have a set of 4 in the garage.

Hi Hans!

For the parts you need

I'd like to recommend buying replica fairings made from GRP and carbon engine covers (as I did a few weeks ago ) - but the French guy who made them seems to have to care about his girlfriend now (she sadly is seriously ill at the moment) ...

If you were interested in buying I could ask him whether he still makes them.

With regard to the indicators, I'd suggest smaller ones like these:



Such indicators don't crack your fairing in case of another spill like the original ones do

As to the color code ... maybe try this thread?

Thx, might come in handy. I'll let You know, but I fear P&P will be shockingly expensive for one or two indicators only, so I'll wait a while and see if I can get any as a part of a bigger package, or better, from a closer source. If not, then I'll take one!

Thx Holer!

The fairings would be great for trackdays. Problem is I don't have a trailer, and have to drive to the tracks. (But I'll hopefully solve that in the future). Therefore I need a fairing with headlighhts, Pferrer might be the way to go, and a rear-tail from the ones You mentioned above.

Regarding the CF engine covers, have You heard/seen how well they actually protect the engine? I've been thinking of making up some basic thin steel plates, but this looks a lot neater. If they're only good looking though, I'll go my own way though. But please, make some inquiries, my French stretches only as far so that I won't de-hydrate in a bar in France...
