That's what it's called in the T parts list.

That's what I did.  Bear in mind, though, that for your $180 you
get the piece from the headlights to one side: the other side and 
the piece between the headlights are separate.  The whole nacelle
(all three pieces) is in the $500 range.

My advice is to fix it like new if you can afford it.  The sight
of the damage will always bother you otherwise.  I never regretted
the parts I replaced, only the ones I didn't.

Don't forget the brackets for the fairing top piece.  I can tell
their bollocksed from the photo, as your fairing is against the 
frame alongside the tank.

You also have the option of replacing or not replacing the foam
inserts in the fairing, as they are a separate part.  I didn't 
replace them (didn't know they were separate at the time), and 
now find I kind of like the extra engine noise I can hear.
