Bird Strike!

Soz - not a regular poster, but become so this season if today is anything to go by! Yesterday was first ride of the year, first straight, first handful of throttle.... About 3 seconds later a pheasant flew into the screen, breaking half of it off, tearing a chunk off the top fairing and bending the mirror brace right round. Just my luck! Honda quote about £520 to fix it, so I'm looking for second-hand parts. It is a black CBR-900-RR-V. Anyone know of any good places to try, anyone selling these bits etc. Any help appreciated. Thanks. JohnT.

Re: Bird Strike!

Thanks mate, However I found a place that do genuine, new Honda parts cheap! They are at Honda Motorcycle Parts at David Silver Spares so I'm going to take that route I think. However, Powerhouse looks like a great place to shop for bikes. And I have a cousin in Bournemouth...
