Try www.f1engineering.com or Dual Star... F1 is the company converting the bikes for the military.. I was just on there and saw that they're selling body parts. Hope that helps. Ron in MN

I called Dual-Star a few weeks back and they were all out and did not know if they would receive more. This may have changed by now. You can also find new take-offs on Ebay which go for around $50. My fairing (2001 and green) is a little faded and I have been looking to replace it. Otherwise it is in excellent condition. If you want to buy mine, allowing me to swap up to a nice shiny one, let me know. Here is one of the current auctions on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

Join the group. Most of us don't point in the direction we are riding. The fairing being out of whack is normal and in most cases is just ignored by the owner, myself included. It bothered me for a day...then I got over it and just changed the gas. Capt. Bob in Durham, CT. USA

Hi Tony. They're all like that. It's known as "designed imperfection". The reason for it is to lessen your pain and disappointment the first time you drop or ding the bike. It truly works. Knowing the bike was less than perfect to begin with reduces the sense of loss. Get it? Live with it. Welcome to the group.

On the maiden ride I noticed the fairing is pointing a couple of degrees to the left when riding straight. Is this common? I inspected the mounting hardware and braces and can't see any thing that is obviously bent. I don't think it's affecting anything except my mind when I glance down at it.

Tony, First let me say WOW, I'm jealous of your collection of bikes. Second, welcome to the group. I have never been part of any other topic driven group that has been so useful. My '07 is the second bike I've ever owned and I would definitely consider myself a noob. My fairing is off kilter a little bit too. And, my bike buzzed, rattled, clunked, and made all kinds of hellish noises when I bought it. I thought I had screwed up big time. But, now with close to 1k on it, life is indeed good. I definitely think I am developing some kind of very strange and probably unhealthy codependency with my '07. I even named the damn thing Camaxtli since it is Aztec Red. Anyway, welcome, and if you're ever near SW Missouri lets roll! Greg; Willard, MO; '07 Aztec Red
