Glad ur ok!

Would you consider buying a fairing off of ebay and having it painted? HD is always 6-8 weeks on painted parts.

I keep hearing black is the fastest color. I think it should really ship faster than say red. Also I sure would not let a few marks keep me from riding. Hope it all works out for you.

They can get you an engine guard for your bike in 3 days. Just have them install it for you or do it yourself. There is no reason why you can't have it changed out if you're not worried about having it included in the insurance settlement.

Glad you weren't hurt. Sounds like your dealer thinks your bike is in jail. Like TheBagger said: put on a new crashbar and ride your bike until the rest of the stuff comes in (or ride it without). That dealer isn't very accomodating and you should let them know it. Makes no difference whether they fix it all at once or a little at a time.
