Default Cracked fairing

Alright, I got my first Kawi about 2 months ago, and somebody already managed to tip it over, and now the fairing is cracked. I'll put pics up if it helps, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

The same thing happened to me. I ended up buying a brand new fairing that was already painted. The price was $178 for the lower right fairing and I have a 06 zx6r. Part came in the mail and it was bolt on. No messing around with body work or looking for shops to paint it.

if you have the $ and don't wanna go through the hassle putting your hands at work, just get a new fairing. if you wanna learn something pretty easy and save alot of money in your pocket for the long haul, just get a fiberglass kit. what kinda kawi do you have os?
