Holy friggin Tiger Sh@t!!

$25, are you kidding me?!?!

I need to look in on this forum a little more often!  

[Fe Man]

I might buy it as a spare!

Umm, the whole point of my previous post and rant was that is SOLD for $25!  Somebody must not have known what they are really worth. I certainly would paid that and then some for a spare. It'd be fun and easy (at that price) to pick up spare plastics and get a cool  custom paint job done.

Biggest problem with parts for our tigers is that they are rare, and that there is no demand for them until someone needs them.

My luck with body panels has been when I need something, so does everyone else.  And when I want to sell it... no one wants it at all.

For all the motorbikes I've ever owned that have had plastics panels, I have stocked on cheap replacements from ebay.  My plan has always paid off.  Keep an eye on ebay, it's amazing what you can find.  For instance I bought a steamer petrol tank for £8 last month.  Yes that's $12 approx.....

Sorry, should have clarified that they are rare in the US.

Been watching eBay (US, UK and GER) and Craigslist.org (Nationwide) since November of 2008.  Not a single Lucifer Orange fairing (without brows), top case, or reasonably priced panniers or lids yet.

I've seen loads of brand new pannier sets in the UK but shipping would make that completely impracticable.

But I keep looking :)

If I see anything here going for a song, I'll let you know.  I have a look every other day or so.

EB, you might want to call 1/2 dozen or so Triumph dealers around the Midwest and tell them what you are looking for. I know there was a guy here in Denver that had a deal with one of the local Triumph and Duc shops to buy their scratch and dent items. He was posting them on Ebay. Since I was local I went and looked at some side cases and a tank that he had but the prices were pretty high.

I won't tell you what color they were!  :shock:

But that was probably about June of 2008.  :?

[EvilBetty]

I've called some.  Particularly some shops that forum members said were known to keep things like that sitting around.  No joy.

Well then, I guess you'll just have to by an Orange 1050!!  I've seen plenty of them for sale on the various boards.  :D

[EvilBetty]

I have too.  Some of them very good deals... but I really want one with ABS and I haven't seen a Blazing Orange ABS 1050 yet... :)

Gawd I'm a picky SOB.

[Nick Calne]

Not sure which colour lucifer orange is exactly....

is it this one?

Heh I just found that one this morning!  I emailed the seller asking if they would ship to the US.

I wish I understood why some Girly fairings have the top cut out of them and others don't.  Not sure which is the later design.

Both of my fairings have it cut out.

MY '06 HAS THE CUT OUT. I am assuming you are talking about the indented part at the top where the windscreen attaches. I figure it for airflow through to the backside of the windscreen to eliminate pressure issues.
